We had a really good time at Alan's place, everything was as described. The location was really good, walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops and we also walked to the city center, botanical garden, Opera House etc. which will take about 30 minutes if you're not in a hurry.
If you have a car, there is parking in the street, but during daytime on weekdays you can only park there for 2 hours at a time. So if you don't want to use the car every day you have to find a free spot in the area without any limitations which can be a little bit difficult.
The apartment was really well equipped, clean and tidy - and even had heating, which is very comfortable in winter.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Alan's place very much, communication was perfect and we would definitely recommend the place and hopefully come back some day!
