We couldn't have asked for a better stay - Lina's apartment is beautifully decorated and full of interesting books and art, and it's impeccably clean and well-organised. The wonderful red kitchen is completely kitted out - we had friends over to brunch - and the little touches, like flowerboxes in the windows, make the whole place feel like an oasis.
Lina herself was a wonderful, warm hostess - we had a very late arrival and she met us at the apartment at 11:30pm with a smile. She was full of good advice about the neighbourhood - which is charming and felt very safe - and was flexible about a checkout time ("it's not a hotel", she told me). Truly, as the ad says, a home from home.
