Karen is a real friendly host. I stayed at her house for 20 days. She wants that you have the best experience possible. The room is a loft, so you go up some stairs and you are in the room. It's private. The cealing is a little bit low, but that didn't bothered me. The bed is very comfortable as has a lot a pillows and has 2 besides lamps (if a couple is staying there), there is also one more bed, in case you bring 2 more people with you. She always provides a nice cold water bottle and candies, very sweet. As she makes the breakfast, she always ask what you like to eat, and makes delicious food. The cats are very sweet, don't make noise and are very clean. The house is clean. I stayed in September, so the weather was cool and the room has a very powerfull fan, it was enough. The neighborhood is good, it's not the "hype" area, but has lots of restaurants, stores and everything that you need. It's very secure. There is a subway station very close, 5 minutes walking, very easy. Trust me, it's way more good that seems in the pictures.
