The location near the train station was perfect for me, and the place was spotlessly clean. The bed was quite comfy and the kitchen was well set up. I had friends for breakfast and had a nice time.
There was a bit of a mixup at first that was resolved very quickly by the host. Excellent communication and effort. The instructions for getting in were quite detailed and accurate. It is a basement as noted, so yes you come in through the alley way.
The host was a good communicator, very responsive and accommodated my checkin schedule quite graciously.
