Christina was extremely welcoming and hospitable. She met us for check in, continued to ask if we needed anything, and gave us a map of the city. The location is also extremely convenient to hop on the metro and be right in the action within just a few minutes. However, at the time of this writing, there were a few things in the apartment that I think need to be resolved, such as part of the floor in the common area being under construction and unfinished. Also, there was quite a bit of mold in the bathroom. From the receptiveness of Christina, I don't doubt that she will fix these few issues quickly, because she really does seem to have the best interest of her guests in mind :) Finally, it should be noted that there are several other rooms in the apartment that Christina rents out, so the quality of the stay partly depends on the quality of the other guests. For part of my stay, the other guests were unclean (leaving filth and cigarettes in the toilet) and loud, while for the other part of my stay the other guests were great. I feel this is similar to a hostel, so depending on who you are, this arrangement could be worth the savings. But! It should at least be made known.
