Our stay in Lina's property was very positive. Although check-in was later in the afternoon, she was able to accommodate for us to drop our bags at mid-day. Lina came to meet us so we could drop the bags while the cleaning lady was there. Our bags were locked in the master bedroom and she gave us the keys and we came back at night. Nice touch in accommodating the request.
Amenities were all good, and Lina is nice to have a cabinet with oil, salt, other spices, coffee, etc for one to use. There is a Coop supermarket just 2 blocks away, so it was very convenient for us to prepare breakfast in the apartment and then do the rest of our meals out. The washer/dryer (2-in-1) was a great amenity as we were able to wash our clothes. Lina even provides detergent. Just take into account that it takes a long time for the machine to wash and dry one cycle (about 5-6 hours), as it is one of those econo machines that use little water and energy. Just plan for it.
The building is a bit old, but the apartment has been renovated and was in very good condition. No issues with noise or neighbors. The area was also pretty safe. Both nights we got back close to midnight and we didn't have any concerns walking at that time from the subway to the apartment.
Subway is about 5 min away walking, and there are also some buses that stop just 2-3 minutes away from the apartment. Public transportation was good.
Lina gave us good recommendation on a couple of restaurants nearby. We actually went to one of them (Trattoria Antica Falcone), and the food and service were splendid. Good recommendation from her.
Lina was also able to help us book a van to take us to the airport, and the cost was slightly lower than if I had booked an Uber-X. Good assistance from her.
