Karen is a very good hostess. We didn't meet her personally but the mail contact was very nice. The apartment is the basement under Karen's house. The equipment corresponds exactly to the pictures. The first night was not so pleasant for us, because Karen meant it well and had switched on the central heating because she thought it could be cold. This made it much too warm and the noise of the heating too loud (the boiler room is next to the bedroom). We told Karen and she immediately turned the heater off for us overnight, so we slept well for the rest of the nights. The bedroom is not the quietest place because you can hear the footsteps above you and the subway in the underground. That's not too disturbing, but you should know. Thank you Karen for your hospitality and the many tips.
