I spent three weeks in Claire's place and the experience could not have been better. Claire is kind, generous, sweet and warm. She made me feel at home from the very first day, went out of her way to make it easy and comfortable for me and helped me out with some advice on public transport and recommendations of what to do in town. Claire's place is beautiful and cozy, always clean and tidy and well situated. It's not in a crowded area, so it's quite peaceful, but there are plenty of buses to reach the city center at any time.
I honestly felt sad when I left; staying with Claire (her home, her being such a wonderful host, and our evening conversations...) made my experience something to remember forever. Thanks a lot!!!
