Dear Paul, How’re you doing? I’m writing you regarding your one-week stay at my apartment, since I won’t be around unfortunately! Getting to my apartment can be quite tricky, so I’d leave these directions here. A train leaves for the Wurzburg city station from Frankfurt International airport every 15 minutes. On getting to the city station, you can either board a public bus or a taxi. I’d prefer, you board a taxi because it is cheaper and more convenient. The taxi would drop you at Hubland street, compound 16. Here, there are five blocks and mine being block A. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, the only one from the left. During your stay, there are two chores I'll really love it if you can help me with. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t want to bother you, but these tasks are necessary. I have a dog whose name is Mama. She’s really friendly and I bet you guys will be best of friends before your stay is over. She eats only in the evenings at 7pm after which she goes on am hour walk which I’d want you to help me with. Also, since I would be out for 2 weeks, kindly help me with the mowing of the grass. The mower can be found in the basement, just behind the door. Whenever you’re bored at home, there is a plethora of places tourists visit in my town. Fortunately, one of them, a magnificent castle, has been on my street, just a five-minute walk down the road. I bet you’d love it. Also, there is a fountain in the city centre and it is usually advisable to visit just before sun dawn, as I hear the view is super beautiful. I really do hope you enjoy your stay. Please call me when you need anything. With love, Ayo
