Our host made us very welcome, with real warmth. He carried my case up the seven flights of stairs, showed us our room, and welcomed us to the living-room and other facilities. The flat is a fabulous modern redeveloped flat in a lovely location close to the castle. The only drawback is the stairs, not for the faint-hearted. Our room had twin beds, ideal, as we are colleagues, not a couple. We had use of the lovely family bathroom and the kitchen/living-room, including cooker, frig and washing-machine. No microwave, alas! Our host was truly friendly to all the guests, making us almost a family. Housework was a bit random: guests tended to see to the dishwasher.
