Nick’s place
There was absolutely no problem in the check in and check out process. I was greeted with a warm welcome and given a lay of the land by Nick. Nick is very hospitable, extremely polite and accommodating. Furthermore, as I was new to the area, I was given excellent local recommendations.
The place was beautiful, quite artistic, with a magnificent piano in the living room. It was clean and comfortable. My room was the only room on the ground floor, right next to the living room. The kitchen was quite well equipped. The living room had a good collection of books. Nick was open to the idea of me reading his books and I ended up reading quite a few.
I was sceptical about sharing the washroom with two other people, but because of the way it is designed and arranged, it never felt cramped or mucky. In fact I found it rather unique.
The place was never too loud. I could be by myself in my room without being disturbed or stretch out in the little back garden.
All in all, a very satisfying experience.
