When we arrived late in the evening, we were warmly welcomed by Ia, who turned out to be a most wonderful, generous host. The house is beautifully decorated, well-equipped and clean. The house is located close to the Metro station, the Bus stop and a nice park. Our room had a comfortable bed, a walk-in closet and a commode. So, we were easily able to accomodate all our belongings. We especially liked the hand-drawn sea creatures in the bathroom. It was very quiet at night. The kitchen had a large, old-fashioned gas stove and many nice pots and pans to cook with. Ia had many good ideas for preparing our meals and shared her favorite dishes with us. Ia's humor and kindness made it a real pleasure to talk with her. She was very helpful with the laundry and other amenities that we had forgotten. Her little dog was adorable and even our son overcame his initial shyness and became friends with him. It was definitely a great experience and we will definitely repeat it for our next stay.
