Overall (in short): 2 thumbs up. I would definitely recommend. It’s cozy and the location is ideal.
For those that like a more detailed review:
This was a great place and Ian was very accommodating. To my surprise Ian kindly made the twin beds into full/queen beds for an extra cozy stay since it was only myself and my mother. We both fell asleep on a the sofa more than once and the beds were nice and comfy as well, just what we needed after driving through the highlands the days before. The decor is as pictured; simple, clean and modern and the large windows were a star. The location is super close to restaurants and some shops. We ate at Pepe Nero which is right on the corner and Hectors across the way (within 200ft of the front door) Pepe Nero was good and Hector’s was great, highly recommend trying either. The entry to the building of Ian’ place does seem a little sketchy at first (which he has no control over its the hallway/stair way of the building) but as soon as you step into his place you are transported to a clean cozy abode. It was pretty quiet, the only noise I noticed was the garbage pickup but no street/traffic noise. For those folks coming from the USA don’t forget here Ground level is not considered the first floor, the first floor is the one above the ground/lobby level so for this place be prepared to go up 2 sets of stairs. Parking is a challenge but honestly you don’t need a car if you plan to be in the city. I used an app called JustPark to find a spot and honestly I wish I would have returned my rental car sooner we walked everywhere, again the location is great it was close to public transportation as well if you aren’t much of a walker. If would be happy to stay here again.
