We had a great week at Ellen's place while we were waiting to move into an apartment. We especially appreciated being able to relax and watch some TV on a big, comfortable sofa after a long day.
The internet connection was very fast, which was important because I was working during the days, and taking lots of video calls.
The neighbourhood was really nice, with a park just down the street and decent access to the tram and metro. A supermarket and a number of shops and restaurants/takeaways are all close by.
We were really dumb and one night ended up locking ourselves out. We called Ellen and she showed up within 20 minutes and quickly sorted us out. She was very nice about it and never complained. (Even the neighbours were nice and offered to let us wait inside!)
I always think it's how people react when something goes wrong that is a true judge of a person, and clearly in the rare case you might end up having a problem Ellen is the type of host that you would want. She's very kind and sincere and helpful, and very knowledgeable regarding things in the neighbourhood and what was going on in the city.
