I never met Talita in person but she was responsive via messages. Other people living in the apartment were all nice and friendly. The room is quite spacious and there is en suite bathroom. There are some nice pubs in the neighbourhood, I recommend Cobblestone to anyone visiting. It is quite close to the Jameson building and there is stuff to do and see there as well. There seem to be a lot of young people around, perhaps because of the hostel in the Jameson building. In general, Smithfield is a nice place to be.
