We stayed at Desiree's place for 5 nights. It was wonderful! Breakfast was good & consisted of bread, cereal, fresh fruit, nice coffee and varieties of tea, yoghurt and orange juice. As we were out most of the time, Desiree left us notes to find out how we were doing. We also communicated via whatsapp when we needed help and she is very prompt in her replies. It was nice to meet her friend staying in the same house, who gave us suggestions for rainy day options and gave us leaflets for some other museums which are not in the common guide books. It is easy to move around from her place and we took the bus, metro and train to many places. Desiree also gave us a list of restaurants and supermarkets we could visit. The recommendations were good. Overall a very wonderful experience!
