The contact wit Hugh was always extremely fast and efficient. Everything was where it was supposed to be. We arrived late so the key was where it should be and we could get settled in quickly.
Everything was as could be expected. We arrived on a very nice evening and were surprised by the fact that, despite all the windows being closed there was more than a moderate amount of noise coming in from the street (situated in an area where there are several backpacker lodges, and also a few bars/restaurants). As Hugh points out in the house rules that he leaves on the table - the aircon can be used to dull the noise, but since we were there in winter and do not tend to use aircons, this seemed like a waste of energy.
One more thing. Since the flat is on the 1st floor and there is no lift and the stairs tend to look like the ones you expect in the UK (narrow and steep), I would not recommend this for people with walking problems, especially seen in the light that they have to carry their bags/suitcases up the stairs themselves. This can be precarious if the bag is big and heavy.
All in all an interesting place to stay and certainly to be recommended for younger folks who want to be in a busier part of town.
