Barbara is an amazing host and the place is clean and comfortable. The only thing is that it runs a bit like a bed and breakfast and there is no living-room. The common space comprises only of a kitchenette (no ability to cook) and three small round tables and chairs. There is nowhere to hang out. The location is very convenient and walking distance to the metro. The neighborhood feels safe and has some good eating options. Overall the place is lovely and we had a great time staying there for a week.
