"The location was easy to find, as well as the instructions to get into the room. However because the buzzer is sometimes down to open the door, I would be cautious coming at night, once you are checked in you get a key. The place was extremely clean and their cleaning lady was very helpful. The hosts reply quickly to msgs. They allowed for earlier check in which was extremely helpful. We loved the area is was situated in, tons of good restaurants nearby and there was the train station 4 min walk...
