Helen was very friendly and accommodating to my friend and I while staying at her home, especially considering we booked very last minute. When we arrived she gave us all of the information we needed regarding the space and was helpful in offering advice and information on things to do in the city. We arrived very early in the day and Helen was able to accommodate an early check-in for us. The location was not the most convenient for the city and the closest subway station was closed the weekend we were there, forcing us to take a long bus ride (in traffic) into the city center. However we were there to see the city so we spent most of our days out and about; it fit our needs of a clean, quiet, pleasant place to sleep. We had our own private bathroom attached to our room, which was very nice to have and Helen was quick to offer us anything we might need during our stay. There was student staying in another room, but we didn't hear or see much of him, or Helen and her partner for that matter. Overall, it was a lovely, peaceful home and place to stay for the weekend and we had a great time.
