I didn't meet Kristy; Steev was my contact and he was great. Very laid back and chill, he even lent me a metro card so I could get around easier. I was only there for a night and didn't get to know him well, but he seemed like a really cool guy.
As far as the room itself, I only needed a place to crash for the night and it served its purpose well. The bed was comfortable and there was an a.c. in the window (a must-have for these hot and humid summer nights). I'd definitely consider staying again the next time I'm in town.
