"Pros: Hello, Easy to get the keys and owner good will to support you. He can also offer some other facilities, such as renting car... Cons: Hello, Unfortunately the property is located in a "University , student studios \flats " buildings, even if some residents are no more students for a while ;) and the building was not meant to receive travelers who expect some quiet time and privacy. You can hear people speaking form the stairs or common parts like they are in your studio and this could be till midnight or later. Also, the property needs some fixing and a bit more cleaning... I sent some pictures and videos to him, to advise him about the situation. He was willing to consider the points. I believe he 'Lloyd take necessary action, where possible, to make it better for next travellers ;)." ~Edouard
