We had a wonderful stay in Alin's home, it's evident that he put a lot of work into creating the space (especially the small details, and the quality of materials). Book the 'majestic grand salon' if you can, the ceilings are so high you can practically feel the acoustics when you talk. It's a bargain for the current price/night.
Clean bathrooms and fully-outfitted kitchen.
The local area is very quiet, but still well within walking distance from the city (and 5 mins from the metro station).
