Kar gave me a warm welcome after a looong trip. My room was small and simple but cozy enough to sleep long hours as I tried to get over jetlag. She was very generous with her time; she lent me an adapter, and after hearing I was sneezing a lot, gave me tissues and a bunch of allergy meds. She shared soup that she made (delicious!) and we chatted about common interests. Their home is lovely, the bathroom is spacious and the shower pressure is good. Kar helped me out in a bad situation I got into after I left her apartment(left my phone in a taxi, oops!); she is a natural host and her boyfriend Juan is extremely good-natured and kind as well. Cumbia, the dog, is a highlight, as others have mentioned. I even got to walk her my last day there, which was a fun way to feel like a local (I took her to the nearby cafe Federal, which I recommend, as well as Cafe Cometa, Kar's recommendation and one of my favorite spots in town so far!)
