We felt at home at Karin's place, landing there from a wintery February in NY City. It is well lit and sunny, with interesting windows on all sides, and pleasant furniture to collapse onto... and a swing to mix things up. There are delightfully unusual objects and traditional art objects, too. There is a wonderful fruit and vegetable market on Tuesday morning... If you would like to have hotel-like amenities such as bottles of shampoo, a shower without quirks... there are places which have more of a hotel feel for people who seek these conveniences during travel. We were very comfortable here because it felt like home. We would happily come again to Karin's place and we recommend it to others.
