I had a great time using Brad's flat on my own, he was away the whole time but all worked perfectly with his cleaning lady letting me in plus a very nice phone call from Brad shortly after my arrival. I was made to feel very welcome. All was great about the flat as described in the many reviews of the others. My only critique would be that Brad gets his cleaning lady to do a though job on cleaning all the drawers and cooking utensils in the kitchen. Most of Brad's guests likely never use the kitchen for more than coffee or using the washing machine, but I did (as I was on diet and did not want uncontrolled food out at every meal). Other than that this was a great option in every way. I was only sorry not to meet the very friendly sounding Brad in person!
