Manuela was a great host, as many others have said. This is an old house, with the second and third floors each having 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and a mini kitchen. I appreciated that there was space to store some food and leftovers. It was a bit chilly when I was there, and the room and the bathroom were a little cool, but not overly so - I would just recommend warm socks. :) There are some birds nesting just outside the wall of this bedroom, so they do make a little noise, but it's not bad if you anticipate it and know they're there. There is a closet and dresser, along with a desk, in the room.

The location is great for anyone who's using the train while there, and about a 20 minute walk from the conference centre. Definitely recommend taking the Silver Line bus & Red Line train from the airport - really easy, and free!
