An excellent spot was a wonderful host! Anna replied to our emails before our trip within hours. She forwarded information packages she had put together on the neighbourhood and the city--where to eat, local stores, how to get around, etc. She welcomed us into her home and had coffee for us. Anna's work schedule was hectic the day of our arrival but she did take time off to meet us at the bus terminal and took us to her home. Her home became our home!
