Gina is a wonderful host. She's friendly and honest and we got along great. Her place is a 15 minute walk from the train station just outside of the heavy traffic tourist area so it's nice and quiet yet steps away from all the fun. The common room was smoker friendly but the bedroom was clean and you couldn't smell any smoke from there. My only suggestion is that if you're high maintenance and expect 5 star hotel level treatment it's not for you. If you are however a down to earth friendly traveller I would totally recommend staying with Gina.
