Barbara’s place is great because....
1) Barbara is a great host, quick to response and provides tips that only locals know;
2) location: walking distance to great restaurants, shops, grocery store, metro, bus/tram, main train station and shuttle airport bus station;
3) neighbourhood: safe any time. We took a 5 am bus to the airport, at 4:30 am I felt safe. We came back late one night, no problems at all
4) Surprising quiet ground floor: the good news is it is on the ground floor, we didn’t have to haul the luggage upstairs. The even better news is it is on a quiet street, you won’t hear any noise at all
5) kitchen: well equipped to prepare a decent meal
6) this may be irrelevant but...some neighbours do not welcome Airbnb guests in their complex, but I had ran into very friendly neighbours here. It made me feel good and I was treated like a member of the community
Only one thing that may matter to some guests, the TV signal was weak here. With a high speed wifi provided, I didn’t need to watch the TV in my entire stay.
