Nick and his family were very accommodating and relaxed, which was really helpful when our arrival time shifted some and we got there dazed with jetlag. They gave us tea right away, made us homemade bread for breakfast, and were happy to chat with us.
The whole flat is quite airy and spacious, very light-filled. It's in a beautiful, quiet residential section of town. Really the only minor drawback is that it's a bit of a walk from Princes St., but there are several bus lines that run past (if only we'd figured out how the system worked sooner!).
