Alice is sweet and helpful. She made sure I was well fed and had snacks and directions to where I was going every day of my stay. The house is comfortable and will be very well-connected to the city center once the C metro line is complete. Until then, you have to transfer from the metro to the bus to get to the city center, but it's not too hard. Alice's son drove me to the airport to catch a flight in the middle of the night, and for much less than the cost of a taxi.
