Barbara is a very welcoming host and communication works perfectly! I enjoyed my stay, the room was very nice and after long days of walking through the city I was able to relax and there was no problem for me to be in my room. The house is situated in a neighborhood some people might find intimidating but I liked it, it is very lively and easy going. The place is a 10mins walk to the Metro and you are in town within about 25mins from leaving the house, perfect for exploring the city!
