Christina's place has the mod cons like air conditioning, heat, working hot water and washing machine. She keeps her places fully up-to-date with familiar Ikea furnishings. This particular room is located inside a former beauty salon that has been repurposed. Don't let that put you off because staying on the ground floor right on the bus and metro lines can't be more convenient. I certainly recommend this particular room in the back over the front room because of the possibility of noise from the street. There is a friendly cleaning lady who keeps everything spotless. I definitely recommend this for single budget travelers.
