The host is engaging and courteous, a very interesting and fun person who enjoys people. She is also respectful of your privacy to the degree that you wish it.
Her home is located in a block of houses with a large inner courtyard. The street is a bit noisy as a main artery. Bus service is very good, though no underground in nearby. She gave me directions and helped me to find a bikeshop, even calling several shops on my behalf, which I greatly appreciated.
