My host has been very helpful. She arranged everything we could need: the bed were already prepared when we arrived, and we found cold drinks in the refrigerators, and some coffee for the morning breakfast. She helped us with explaining how to use the washing machine, how to get rid of garbage and so on.
The place was actually better than described, since there was a nice terrace we could use, and an internal garden on the ground floor, that I could visit anytime with the kids. Her husband was also very kind: he checked once in a while whether we needed anything, and he offered tomatoes from the garden and some sweets. The neighborhood was extremely quiet. I almost felt sorry for the neighbors, given that we had two very energetic kids playing loud all the time.
