We stayed here recently for five days and found it be an excellent location for exploring the city by subway. Groceries and beer/wine are within a 15 minute walk and the full kitchen is ample for food preparation. Excellent coffee is provided. Entry to the upstairs studio is via a long set of outdoor stairs. The bed is extremely comfortable - so important! Kristina is very personable and her fun personality shows in the decor. We slept with the windows open every night and were impressed with how very quiet the neighborhood is. Also, we almost never heard Kristina and family downstairs. We really enjoyed our stay!
