Staying here was like staying at a very nice Private Hostel. Convenient location, a wonderful Host, and many amenities.

Katia (& Irene) went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. The place was very conveniently located to the airport and they were able to make arrangements for a discounted cab. (She tried to hook us up with a promotional Uber ride, but it wasn't working very well as she doesn't use Uber.)

It served our needs as a place to sleep before our flight with a few bonus experiences such as offering home made spaghetti (they're both Italian natives) to our daughter (10 y.o.) and letting her hang out with they 6 y.o. girl while my wife and I went out to grab a bite to eat. My daughter felt comfortable (she has good instincts about these things), and we did too. She had a great time.

Their kitty is very cute, although it tends to scratch and bite playfully, and yet it can be very sweet and affectionate. The main host, Katia, was very sociable (Irene's English is not as strong, and she seems more shy, but friendly too), and got into many interesting conversations. She had many wonderful tips, and if we stayed longer, we would have benefitted from them all.

Katia was honest about the noise, but during the non-Peak periods (i.e. not summer) the planes stop from 1 am to 6 am, and slow down after about 10 pm on.

The room was cramped with the 2 beds, but near the bathroom/toilet. We had to store most our luggage in the hallway, but that was not a problem. The beds were honestly not very comfortable, but not the worst. Katia said that she was waiting on newer mattresses, so check to see if they arrived when booking.

It was what we needed basically, and it all worked out well. There is smoking outside for those who need it, but as non-smokers the smoke that drifted back in was uncomfortable as the door and windows were usually open. We would have to leave to avoid it, but Katia would move when asked.

Overall, it was fun to stay there and served our needs: a place to crash, regroup, prep for the flight home, and get to the airport in a timely manner as it was very close. Katia & Irene (and Maxine, their daughter) treated our daughter very well and she loved our brief stay there.
