We stayed at Marina's place over Christmas/New Year's and had a great time. The place is stylish, comfortable, well-appointed, and quiet. We enjoyed that we could go to explore the city during the day (quite busy at the this time of the year) and then come back to a peaceful place in the afternoon. We are a family of 5 including 3 kids and the place had enough space for us. Transportation was convenient since there is a bus stop right outside the house but just be aware that it will take you at least 25-30mins by bus/tube to get to the main sights. Marina was great at communicating with us and even was able to get groceries in advance since we arrived in 12/25 when stores were closed. Recommended.
