I didn't actually get to meet the host, however this is a very slick operation with the keys being left in a pre-arranged spot, so check-in is possible at any time of the day. We were a little confused as to which flat it was once we had let ourselves in the front door, as there were two doors on the first floor up (its the door on the left!!). We left the key in the same place when we checked out.

That said, this property is magnificent! It is way better than the photos. The rooms are spacious, the ceilings are high, and the whole apartment feels luxurious. The beds are very comfortable and there is ample wardrobe and drawer space in each room. The kitchen is well equipped with all manner of pots, pans and dishes plus there is a washer dryer machine, slimline dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob. There is tea, coffee, mint tea and sugar available for use as well as cooking oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper!!! We didn’t have milk or biscuits as other previous users described though. There were lots of cleaning stuff under the sink including sponges to hand wash dishes and j-cloths for surfaces. This all adds to the convenience of using the kitchen. Lovely big fridge freezer too.

The host has a manual explaining how everything works - it needs updating slightly - and all the instruction manuals for the appliances are in the kitchen.

I loved everything about this property including the location. The cobbled street is quiet but just around the corner is access to shops (including Tesco Express), pubs, cafes, bars, restaurants and takeaways. Public transportation is about 2-3mins. On our last day we walked about 8mins to the bus station where there are large lockers to leave your suitcases if you have a late flight as we did.

In the large sitting room there is a beautiful antique desk filled with a lot of local guides and information on the area.

I would definitely use this property again, actually I wanted to move in!!! I have no reservation in recommending it.
