Polina is a natural Host. For a moment, I thought I was back at home experiencing some Southern Hospitality! Very communicative, thoughtful, and accommodating when we checked in late that evening after dinner. She gave us a mini tour, explained everything, and left us to our settling in.
The space was spotless! Highly appreciated especially after some Airbnb hit-and-misses on the clean factor. This host gets it right! Instantly felt comfortable, and the bathroom was bright spacious and stocked with fresh white towels and toiletries. The kitchen, while not a full size, has everything you actually need. There is a nice dinner table, microwave, two burners for cooking, an electric water kettle, and dishes as well as paper plates, tea and coffee. There is a sofa which pulls out into a sofa bed, and a television which was just installed with Roku. We enjoyed reading eating and working on the laptop on the out door patio and umbrella. It is private, sunny, breezy, and a wonderful change of pace from being indoors. The neighborhood is a safe, clean, middle class area where we felt great continuing a morning jog daily. Close to shops, and a short drive or bus to major attractions, I would recommend this to anyone wishing to stay like a local, who values some privacy to come and go as you please while being under the wing of a great host.
