Elena is a wonderful and welcoming host who understands unforeseen circumstances. She comes by once a week to water the plants and was always available by email. The room itself is larger than it looks on pictures and the chimney heats the room up very well. There is a private side entrance to the room which is very convenient. The other tenants, Andrew and Maria are very clean and agreeable and the kitchen is always in a great condition! The place is situated right next to bus line 38 to downtown and a 7 minute walk to line 1. I had a great stay here!
