Derek was quite hospitable and welcoming. He provided loads of information about how to get to his flat with maps and directions, and was very communicative before our arrival regarding any questions we had about things to do in the area. He had some milk and muffins there when we arrived to help us get settled. The flat was very clean, tidy, and comfortable. It was easy to feel at home there. The flat sits on a residential street that runs along a busy road that can provide some traffic noise, but otherwise the neighborhood is quiet, but close to multiple restaurants, shops and bus stops.
