Paul's place was exactly as described in the photos. It is in a great location, everything is extremely clean (including shower/bath) and it is a very nice touch to have free water/beers/croissants in the fridge that are constantly restocked. Paul was also extremely accommodating about leaving luggage/arrival & checkout time.
Unfortunately we didn't meet Paul in person as he was away during our stay so his neighbor Joyce let us in and showed us around. This made for a bit of a chaotic check in, which also happened to a few other guests but it was only a minor inconvenience and I think it's understandable given this was his neighbor.
Paul's kitchen was taken over for a meeting on the day we left but he still kindly let us leave our luggage there when we went out for the day. All in all I can strongly recommend Paul's place. We stayed with a young boy (4 years old) and didn't experience any hassle. Only other point to note is that while the local area is very central and easy to access, it did seem a little bit dodgy at night, we didn't experience any problems but might be worth noting for women travelling alone.
