Staying at Arnie's was a great experience overall. It was in walking distance to my conference and therefore suited me perfectly. Although there was some confusion at the beginning of my stay as I forgot to inform him, when I'm coming, everything went well! I overlapped with a second guest that stayed one night longer than booked, but both beds were comfortable. The appartment has some nice personal touches and accessories from the different destinations Arnie travelled to. The building doesn't look that promising from the outside but Arnie has straightened that out with a cosy and nice appartment that has a great view over the city! The surrounding is not too loud, but has some restaurants and supermarkets nearby.

Upside:
- very nice host
- enough space
- cosy bed
- great view
- BorisBikes Bike rental across the street
- short walk to underground stations Angel or Barbican
- free Wifi

Downside:
- no shower (or at least no shower with warm water), but bath tub ;)
