Conni was a marvelous host, quick to reply, on hand when we arrived and full of suggestions to help with our visit. Her place is really well located, about one block from a subway station. The area seems residential, with a few scattered restaurants and markets of various sizes within a ten minute walk.
A couple of things to know are that there is a bar just below her place, though she had dual pane windows that were pretty effective in muffling the noise. Also, the toilet, shower and washing machine are all in a very small room that doesn't drain well after a shower; it was inconvenient enough to preclude showering every day. We still had a wonderful time and Conni was a great host.
