Alina was great! We stayed for 2 nights. She was very flexible with our check in which was nice as backpackers. Even though she does not speak English she did an excellent job communicating through translator apps in person - and over text it was very easy as the app translates for us. Our room was very clean, she supplied towels, water, a fan, and of course access to the balcony. She has 3 cats and the bathroom is shared (as she has in the description) but we barely saw the cats as she tried to keep them with her most of the time. All in all very good experience, exactly as described.
