Chris's place lived up to the hype. It was was beautiful, super clean (which is a pet peeve of mine) and beautifully decorated. The location was amazing and it was easy to get to most places in the city (castle, station, fantastic restaurants, shops, etc). The stairs did not bother us as we were expecting them from the other reviews and preferred having the apartment on the second floor rather than a ground floor. Chris was super hospitable and had bagels, milk, bread, fruit available for us which was great as we arrived late evening and didn't have time to shop for coffee, tea and other stuff for the morning. The rooms were so quiet and we never heard the FRINGE festival noise in the bedrooms since they were in the back of the apartment. We loved being able to look out the living/kitchen windows and see the city and people in the morning. The rooms looked even nicer than the pictures. I would highly recommend his place to all my friends. You cannot go wrong with this place.
