Aminata is very courteous and hospitable. We had a miscommunication regarding my arrival where I told her I was arriving at 9 am. I was referring to the time my plane landed but she thought it meant the time I was arriving at the house. Despite it taking me over an hour to arrive at the house from the airport, Aminata waited on me to allow me to check in. This was truly appreciated.
The apartment is clean and in great condition. The room, however, is not private. This is a one bedroom apartment so the room you are staying in is the host's. Although, the toilet is in the living room. The shared shower and tub is in the bedroom. As a result, the host has access to your room to shower and access her personal items. She never disturbed me for access to the room because I was gone most of the day. None of my belongings were missing or bothered. I just think its important to know.
The apartment is close to the Belgica subway and bus hub. The commute is only about 15-20 minutes to the city center. I felt very safe in the neighborhood.
Overall the stay was a good one. Aminata was a gracious host.
