David’s place was cozy. It reminded me of staying in a little cabin, except it was a basement with a separate entrance. David’s friend Mila lives in the main part of the house but we felt like we had complete privacy all weekend.
Mila met us at the house upon check in. She walked us around the neighborhood. She even offered us Burger King coupons, which was a kind gesture. After the walk, my boyfriend and I went to the neighborhood market and then had a picnic at the park nearby. The neighborhood was pleasant and full of very friendly and down-to-earth people.
We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The kitchen in the apartment was functional and the one burner to cook on worked just fine for us. As several others have mentioned, the ceilings in the bathroom and shower are low and we made the best of it. I laughed thoroughly at my boyfriend throughout the weekend because his hair was gently brushing the ceiling. The fact I could do laundry was a winner for me.
The house was built in the 1940’s or so, so it’s creaky. If you’re sensitive to that kind of thing, bring ear plugs but for us it wasn’t an issue.
I recommend David’s place and I would stay here again.
