Hillary's place is about 10-15 min walk from the metro through a lower middle class suburb. There is a bus but walking was fine for us. Hillary provided bread, eggs and yogurts for us for breakfast. The room is quite tight although the bed is big. It is upstairs next to a shared bathroom and the owners bedroom. This wasn't a problem for us as we were just there to sleep. Hillary was available to answer dumb tourist questions which was valuable.
