We did not meet Phyllis as she was off on her own fun trip. Gabriel hosted for us and was a charm. The location was great for us! The beds were very comfy, the flat lovely, and breakfast supplies plentiful including gluten free which was all SO nice. Two notes of caution: it can be quite noisy at night as you are in the heart of it all so bring your earplugs. We did and slept very well even with the window open. We also wanted naps in the afternoon as we were going through several time changes and on one day there was a meeting in the flat so we were not allowed in at that time. It was a little disheartening but we dealt with it. All in all our host was perfect and, all things considered, the place was too. I would return.
