There was an unfortunate development at Tamaras place: I had to leave 2 days earlier than the 10 days planned, and she refused any compromise on refunding me. This is her right according to Airbnb regulations. But flexibility would be welcome. I have not met her personally during my stay.
Her studio is well located and quiet, nice and warm in winter. However the red tile floor in the main room and the bathroom is in bad need of cleaning, just as the old and worn looking carpets on the floor. The mattress I slept on seemed to me saggy with age. The very narrow shower stall was rather run down and rusty. For my clothes, I had a single coat-hanger.
Positive points: The toilet and washbasin were clean and in very good condition, the whole place has very good lighting, the kitchen corner clean and efficient with everything one needs to make coffee, tea and whatever. Tamara had also freed a lot of space in the fridge for me. And the internet worked perfectly.
I cannot recommend her place. I would rather stay in a clean place and with a host who has flexible conditions of changing the booking.
