Lidia has a cozy room which is pretty much separate from her living space as you would enter through the back door. This gives great privacy and I only saw Lidia once during my five day stay. It is a plus for people who is not looking for interaction with the host. It is very quiet and very close to street car and a big supermarket, 10 mins drive from downtown. Only downside is the house is a bit old with limited space in the room (no working desk), but overall I think it offers great value. Lidia is responsive to messages and very accomodating.
