Neal was a very gracious and accommodating host. He was great to communicate with prior to our arrival, and when we showed up he was waiting for us and had many helpful hints about the area. He also left some food and alcohol in the fridge for us. He is a really great guy. His flat does show some of the hallmarks of a bachelor. My wife would really have liked curtains. There is no door on the bedroom. The place was fairly cluttered and we felt a decent sweep and quick clean up was in order. I moved a few of Neal's things aside so we had more surfaces to put our stuff on, and then we we left I moved his stuff back.

Neal is upfront that his place is lived in (it's his home), and while you are staying there he is quick to reply to messages and very helpful.
