Staying with Gwen was great. She was very welcoming and made us feel at home.

Her apartment is well decorated, clean and quiet with lots of natural light. It is located very close to the metro, which is great. The street out front is loud and busy, but you cannot hear it *at all* when you're inside the apartment. She also has a super cute cat.

The neighborhood is centrally located and has a giant, three-part Mexican/Chinese restaurant with an equally large menu. Be sure to check out the hip chilaquiles place down the block. There's also a huge supermarket near by.

The room is a good size with a large, comfy bed and a good amount of natural light.
