Graeme’s place was an awesome place to stay. Just as pictured, modern and well appointed. Easy access to the apartment via the keypad, with no need for a key. Great location near the botanical gardens, bars/restaurants, and straightforward directions to the old town.
One thing to note is that while it’s only a mile to the old town and the tourist spots/train station, it’s a slow ascent uphill almost the whole way. Not a big deal if you’re on your own, but definitely a bit tiring if you’re pushing a stroller.
Also of note is that the bedroom upstairs has no closet or storage space. There is a small closet just outside the door, but not big enough to hold luggage. There is a rack on the wall of the bedroom as well that can be used to hang up a couple outfits, and there is space in the en suite bathroom to put luggage if you choose to. The bedrooms downstairs have plenty of closet/storage space which could be shared.
Neither of these are reasons not to book this amazing house, just some things that are not mentioned in other reviews or the listing.
I would have no hesitation booking this place again. Graeme was very communicative and responsive, provides great recommendations and advice and has thought of pretty much everything. It’s obvious he’s been doing this for a while, and treats it as more than just a way to make some extra money. If you get a chance to book this place, do it!
