Manuela was the perfect host! I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. The place was perfect for someone who isn't renting a car. The subway is right across the street so it is very easy to travel to the city. I felt extremely safe traveling alone. There are restaurants, Dunkin Donuts, etc. within walking distance should you decide to eat nearby. There is also a mini kitchen that you can use to make meals and Manuela went the extra distance to provide bottled water too. I couldn't have been happier with my experience.
