I did not have the opportunity to meet Pia during my stay. She sent me a text a few days before my arrival, letting me know that she will be at work when I arrive and instructing me to pick up the house key at a separate location that was only a 7 minute walk away from the residence. After realizing that I didn't know what floor Pia was on (the address info did not indicate the floor), I was nervous that I would have to try every door. That fear proved to be unfounded since Pia had her name written in large purple letters on the door thus her home was very easy to find.

She came home after I had already gone to bed and slipped in quietly. I wouldn't have even known that she was there if it were not for the smell of cigarette smoke in the morning.

Pia was very considerate and left small touches that made me feel welcomed (such as chocolates by the bed and the offer of bread and jam). I enjoyed my stay with Pia and am thankful to have had her as a host.
