Ananda met me at the flat and immediately made me feel welcome. She showed me how all the appliances worked, how to make the coffee, where extra sheets were and gave me the most complete description of the flat, the neighborhood, local stores and restaurants that I had ever received from a host. The flat is quaint, charming and romantic. The neighborhood is culturally diverse. I was out late by myself many nights and always felt safe. The location and transport can't be beaten. And The Co-op Store one block away had every single thing I ever needed. I had a grand time.
