First off, let me say that Omri is a great host. He was very communicative and let me drop off my bags earlier than check-in time, and was extremely welcoming! He also gave me great tips for taking the train etc. Nicest guy!
The apartment is in a GREAT location with really good restaurants right across the street at Exmouth Market. A bus stop right on the corner will take you everywhere you'd want to go for sightseeing etc, but I ended up just walking to everything! Location was perfect!
The apartment itself was just okay. I really just needed a place to leave my luggage and sleep at night, so I wasn't expecting much. It worried me that neither the bedroom nor the bathroom has locks. Especially as a solo female traveler. That would be an easy fix and should be required when renting out a room to someone. The bed was unfortunately very uncomfortable. The shower (this might be a UK/Europe thing) was tiny. It is definitely worth the extra $20/night to get a hotel room. If the price were a little lower, I may recommend staying at Omri's if you use the room the way I did - just for sleep - since I was out and about the majority of my visit. This would not work for more than 1 person.
Thanks Omri for being a great host and so welcoming!!
