Serena was really lovely to communicate with and very hospitable! She arranged a late check in for me and explained how to get to her place from the main train station. The downstairs room was quite cool in July due to being underground, but it was hard to wake up due to lack of natural light. The place was a great value and I enjoyed my own room after weeks of hostels, but it could have been cleaner--it felt like staying at a friend's place, with the homey messiness that involves.
