Shirin is a great host and very easy to coordinate with. She loves her city and is happy to share tips on where to eat and drink. The location is fantastic (don't miss Roosevelt Tamale Parlor a couple of doors down; and Five Markets across the street) with vibrant murals, public trans nearby and plenty to explore. The apartment is amazingly quiet, given the location. The two cats are friendly and inquisitive, but easy to avoid if you're not a cat person (just close the door). Overall, this was a great experience and I'd stay here again!
