Pros:

Gareth is a lovely guy! Couldn't be more accommodating to be quite honest. Lovely safe location. I was booked in for 2weeks long stay for work in the city and he was happy to offer a deal for an even longer stay for more work later on in the year... highly recommend. See you soon buddy

Wouldn't stay again
Pros:

Location was convenient.

Cons:

I hesirated to put a bad review and tried to raise my concerns with the afebt and owner, but to no avail. The room, the bathroom and the windows hadn't been cleaned for months. The owner was 'a bit merry' when he showed us round. Washing up in sink all weekend. Heating only in for an hour in the morning on a very cold, wet, windy January weekend. We had to ask for it to be put on in the early evening.

Sehr netter Aufenthalt, toller Gastgeber
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher privater Gastgeber, der schon vor der Ankunft Kontakt aufgenommen und Tipps für die Anreise gegeben hat.
Wir hatten das größere von den beiden Zimmern mit Gemeinschaftsbad. Es war freundlich und praktisch eingerichtet, sauber, mit Handtüchern, WLAN, Steckdosen am Bett und sogar einem Adapter. Die Gäste konnten Küche und Wohnzimmer mitbenutzen; es gab einen Kühlschrank extra für die zwei Zimmer.
Bus und Bahn waren in der Nähe, ein Supermarkt etwas weiter weg, aber fußläufig erreichbar.
Gareth hatte immer wieder mal Zeit für ein nettes Gespräch und Tipps für Unternehmungen.

Cons:

Gareth was a really good host. I had a VERY last minute booking and he was celebrating a major birthday, but was on the phone to help me out regarding getting in etc and arrived only a few minutes after me. Very impressed. Thank you
