I arranged a room in Brian's flat for my Dutch friend Reina, who gave the following feedback:
Brian was a fantastic host.
Very laidback, and friendly.
I feel like I was welcome. And was allowed in the kitchen to cook my food.
There was a bath to use. And when he is home ,he just offers a drink. It is like coming home.

I am sure if people want just to be by themselves that this possibility is also ok. He looks at the people, and what they need..
He is very carefully about it.

The room was ok and it was nice. I could use anything I needed.

He had always the kettle on for a cup of tea.

There are nice small shops in the street. Nature food is available.

I recommend it. And if there is a possibility I shall go again.
