Bianca is the perfect host. I take this back, for this is quite an understatement: she quickly (let's say 5 minutes!) ceased to be a host to become a friend! Great communication, and flexibility in check in (even though she has a 7-month baby) when we had a last-minute problem. About the place: well, about the place... in one word: wonderful! the apartment is beautifully (again, an understatement!) decorated, very bright, with enough space for two people, very comfortable queen bed, all the necessary equipment, very nicely situated to explore the city (two nearby subway stations, a lot of bus lines), lively neighborhood with a lot of nearby supermarkets and all other kinds of shops, weekly cleaning included. Wish we could live there!
