Marina was welcoming me with a glass of wine when I arrived after a long trip and she was always nice to offer cookies, coffee, anything you would need. :) She is charming and was happy to help me during my stay. I did not have a lot of chance to meet Yuri, but when we met he was also kind, not to mention Sal, the cute dog who always made me smile. :) The place is just as nice as on the pictures, they even have a back porch which is all nicely lighted up.
The neigbourhood was nice, quiet and calm and the 5-minute walk to the subway was really convenient. Watch out if you would like to get into the downtown on a Sunday morning (subway starts at 9am), or ask Marina, she had a lot of ideas how to get in the city. :)
Overall, I would recommend Marina and Yuri as hosts, I felt literally at home during my one week stay. Thank you so much!
