Lina and her partner are great hosts. They were always very responsive, quick to answer and very friendly, it was a pleasure to communicate with them any time there was a need. The basement apartment is just as described. The kitchen is fully equipped, separate office space is available, there are some books to read, a washer and a dryer in the bathroom. The apartment is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It is also close to the metro station by walk, there are several grocery stores and pharmacies and a couple of restaurants. Also close to a big park and many small ones, all within a short walking distance.
The only point of attention is that the host family lives upstairs and there is not much sound isolation. So it might be a challenge for anyone who would like to sleep in or needs a quiet environment for working or studying during the day. Other than that it's a wonderful place to stay and I would recommend it as well as consider for staying again.
