Lina was an exceptionally helpful host, friendly, warm, and inviting. She introduced me to the dogs she was dogsitting after they were surprised I was coming in, thinking I was an intruder. The tiny chihuahua made the biggest bark, and a bigger dog also barked and wanted to intimidate, but Lina came back to the apartment quickly to calm them down. I would say that if you are an animal owner and lover, you will not have an issue or give off the fear of a medium-big dog that I did. The bigger dog could smell my fear but was not aggressive, just protective of the home. Lina did a great job at hospitality and was very communicative and responsive. She is a very sweet host and I was thankful.
