Lars is a really nice host, very welcoming, very interested in discussing with his guests. On the arrival in the morning, he showed us everything we needed to know in the house (except which plates, pans, etc. we could use in the kitchen as his flatmate Alla also lives in the house and has her own things). Later in the afternoon, Lars came back and we discussed about history, present politics, life in Seattle and London and Paris, so we had an interesting talk!
The room is really nice and you do feel at home with some tea, mugs, plates etc and a kettle. The bed is comfortable. It doesn’t feel at all like being in a big city given the room is surrounded by trees (and perhaps a spider or two, but mainly birds :-) ).
One downside: the pressure of the shower is really really low, which is a shame because the bathroom is amazingly beautiful.
