For me Gitas apartment was just what I hade hoped for: a genuing home with all artistic details and as the host described: eclectic. You get this wonderful feeling of traveling back in time. My husband, 12 year old daughter and I loved it, for my 19 year old son who loves everything modern was not so impressed =). The bathroom was very warm (usually cold in old houses and we had a nice warm bath after a chilly evening out.We met Gita shortly but she seemed to be nice, spoke well English (among her other languages) and the most important was that she trusted her home to us. The surrounding area seems like a well doing neighborhood with all the embassies.
