My host was very warm, friendly, and welcoming. She even met me at the metro station to help me find the apartment and familiarize me with the area and amenities. She provided me with maps and details on local attractions as well as some things that weren't touristy at all. In additions, she even checked back with me to make sure everything was ok and to see if I needed any help. The apartment is 3 blocks away from the metro, but most things can be walked to within 20 to 30 mins. I would definitely stay there again.
