Astrid was a great host. She was very responsive and accomodating. Provided many tips and recommendations. Always friendly. The room itself can get very hot during the day and noisy from about 8am-2pm. Astrid was kind enough to provide me a fan and earplugs which helped. She had a cleaner come every week. The kitchen had most things I needed. Max was a friendly and energetic dog. Astrid had her cousin there taking care of the dog during my entire stay. The neighborhood is great and easy to walk around, lots of restaurants, parks and co-working spaces which I recommend over working in the apartment if possible.
