I stayed at Kerstin’s place for three nights when I was in town for a graduation. My son lived only two blocks away so it was a perfect location. The area felt very safe and there were plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and some shopping within a block or so. The subway was about a 10 minute walk. Kirsten was very easy to communicate with, with quick response to my texts. She is very warm and welcoming and offered to lend me her jacket when the weather turned out to be chillier than expected. Her dogs were super sweet and friendly. There was closet space available for my things and the bedroom was clean and comfortable. The shower had good water pressure and plenty of warm water. I would definitely stay here again when visiting my son.
