Doug was friendly and quick to reply. Aside from regular facilities, he also allowed me to use his bicycle. I didn't end up riding it, but it was a kind gesture.

The flat is spacious and has the potential for a nice home. Unfortunately it wasn't particularly clean, with stains in the kitchen cupboards, few cobwebs in the showers and plenty of dust and crumbles. There was also a slight bug problem, which Doug was aware of and had tried to tackle some time before. Turns out cockroaches are hardy, so I still met a few a day.

These issues aren't insurmountable. The place could just use a professional spring cleaning. And perhaps a slight furniture update. :)

Location-wise a quick walking distance from Chinatown, which has plenty of goodies, and the harbor area for night life venues. For a late-night snack, there's also a cheap pizza place across the street.
