Shaun is a great host. He gave me a warm welcome and we had a nice talk over a beer/wine even though I arrived pretty late. The house was clean and had everything I need - kitchen and utilities I can use, fast Internet, laptop table in the bedroom where I can work or relax in private. The furniture is not new, shiny and luxurious, however, everything is clean and working. Shaun was great and was always there for a small talk or advice, very friendly and open.
Note - I spent nearly three weeks there in search for a flat and other relocation tasks.
