We did not meet Yvonne in person but she sent a friendly welcome message through email and also gave instructions on how to get into her flat shortly before our arrival. The neighborhood is quiet, peaceful with hardly any traffic, both vehicles and people. There were bus stops to and from city center a few minutes walk from the flat but the young and able bodied can walk to the city center and some tourist spots. Although we are aware that the building is from the 1890s, we were jolted by the dark and shabby hall that greeted us upon opening the door to the apartment complex (not Yvonne's fault but maybe it's the way with old structures). The flat itself has been refurbished. The bed and bath rooms are alright despite the tiny sink. However, the furniture in the sitting area are not as bright as they appear in the pictures. The garden is overgrown with weeds with a sagging clothesline (again not Yvonne's fault as we understand it is a communal garden) and the pretty red garden set pictured in the advert we found folded up and stored in an old closet by the entry to the flat. The kitchen needs updating perhaps so it would be more cheery and have space for the microwave instead of being kept in another old, dingy closet together with the washer and floor mop and bucket. The flat may not be for us but those who are into vintage homes and arts and crafts might like this as Yvonne has some nice touches.
