Katarina is a warming, amazing host! I stayed at her apartment long-term for two months during my summer internship and thought my stay at her place was beyond what I had expected.
From the start, the check-in process was very smooth- Katarina is very responsive. Her place is very tidy, with lots of sunlight! The bed was very comfortable, closet was spacious for me to store all my clothes, and the bathroom was very clean. In the morning, she had cookies and croissants for me to eat (which were very delicious). In addition, her in-unit dryer and washer worked really well. Her kitchen had so many appliances for me to use (Keurig, toaster, oven, microwave, etc) and the living room had a comfortable couch I can relax on (have fallen asleep on this couch way too many times!)
In terms of safety, her apartment is in one of the safest neighborhoods in the city and I felt comfortable walking home (10 min walking distance from the Q) at night by myself.
What makes this awesome place a better place is the host - she respects your privacy, chats with you if/when you want to, but most importantly, makes you feel at home. If you have any questions about where the locals favorites are, she will tell you!! :) I would definitely stay at her place again in the future.
