Ewa’s place is amazing. It’s beautifully renovated. She was very gracious and helpful when we met in the kitchen during one of the evenings. She gives her guests privacy and the shared spaces feel welcoming, yet quiet. The place feels very clean and she accomodated any special requests I had regarding sensitivities. Even though I stayed there during loud 4th of July fireworks in the neighorhood, I could hardly hear anything in my room and it felt like a retreat space. I did feel better walking in that immediate neighborhood in the daylight and wouldn’t have wanted to go there in the dark. Her street feels very safe, but walking from the bus stop kept me on my toes.
