Ian’s a natural host, very friendly, responsive, and helpful. He volunteered a lift to a restaurant when I first arrived and gave me a quick tour of the neighborhood. The location is great—everything you need and more is right around the corner, perfect if you are without wheels. As for the room, it’s clean, comfortable, and quiet; with the fan on, I couldn’t really hear what was going on elsewhere in the apartment. The bathroom is another story—there’s only one in the apartment and it’s through the kitchen, so if you have a strong need for absolute privacy and/or time to luxuriate while you take care of business, you should probably arrange to stay elsewhere. That said, it didn’t prevent me from enjoying my stay.
