Karen was an extremely helpful and lovely host! Although we didn't get to meet Karen, she constantly communicated with us, we were able to check in and out when we wanted, Karen's friend let us in immediately on arrival. Karen provided great recommendations which we must thank her for a great New Year's Eve night! Her apartment was exactly as described and in a great location just minutes from the metro and close to great bars and restaurants. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen as a host to anyone :)
