This is by far my best Airbnb experience, because it didn't feel like an Airbnb. Gardenia made me feel like I was visiting a friend from the moment we met. She is caring, kind, warm and simply an angel. If you believe that travel is about the people you meet along the way, then stay here. You'll understand why Gardenia has so many amazing reviews.
The room is as pictured, east-facing with lots of morning light (which you can also block out if you wish). The common sitting area was rarely used so it felt almost like an extension of the room. The bed is very comfy and Gardenia provided a heater as it can get chilly during the night in November. I loved the quiet neighbourhood at the top of the hill. Lots of great restaurants nearby (ask Gardenia for recommendations). I got around mostly by bus (I could have walked but bought the metro card) and found it very convenient.
