While I've stayed at a lot of AirBNBs, this was my first time staying at a room within someone's larger home. And it was perfect! The room is huge - even larger than it looks in the pics. Totally quiet and private, and furnished with everything you'd want - including an incredible book collection available for reading. Bed was comfy, room was quiet, and air conditioning plus ceiling fan were well matched to the space. The location of Marina's home is also a huge plus. Metro station is a short 10 min walk away, and several public bus routes are even closer. The safe and well lit neighborhood is filled with friendly neighbors walking dogs and/or sharing drinks at a cafe across the park. Even with all that - the best is the hosts. Marina and her husband were kind, gracious and fun to get to know. I was welcome to join their backyard gathering with friends, and just as welcome to spend as much time alone as I needed. All great. I'd give 10 stars if I could.
