I was dreading filling in the Schengen form by hand at the consulate. Their tips for the accommodation section actually reflect what the consulate looks for. I submitted on a Tuesday and had my passport back the following Monday. The consulate clerk even commented that my file was well prepared. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. Best money I've spent on admin in ages.
