I stayed a week at Chris's place and it was absolutely perfect. First of all it is directly across the street from a train station so you are footsteps from anywhere. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and right behind a convenience store for any necessity or just a snack, and 10 minutes walk to the center where there is all sorts of pubs, restaurants and shopping. My room was huge and allowed me to prepare for a cycling tour so I had a lot of gear and still had ample space along with being very clean like the entire house.
I would definitely recommend Chris's place to anyone wanting a great price, an awesome location and Chris himself is such a great host and is always available to answer any question or offer some advice on local pubs or restaurants.
