Cecilia displays excellent hospitality. She was accommodating to our ever-changing arrival schedules. And when we felt the place a bit too cold for our little ones, she fixed the issue right away and followed up to make sure we were comfortable. The place has lots of local tips, no need for Lonely Planet or even yelp for places to go especially with kids. There were adequate kitchen supplies. There is no dishwasher so we got to pull up our sleeves.
If there is anything less than great is that the wall to the neighbor is thin enough for us to hear him talk (though couldn't make out the words) and cough. But that was never past 11PM, the acceptable time for sleep and the wall isn't where the bedrooms are anyway. It's nothing the host can do about but we found it funny to be able to hear the neighbor while washing dishes.
The location is great, very easy to get on the "subway" to get to the center or the waterfront. Cecilia was quick to let me know where the mailboxes were for last minute postcards. Very nice place and even better the host!
