Amina's home was gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice. It is a minute walk to a beautiful side of the river (other areas we visited were very congested). Not so much on the East side. Short walk to good eating (Laundrette). And short walk to night life on Cesar Chavez. The space we stayed was beautiful. I would leave the sliding door open and listen to the birds chirping away. Amina is very friendly and welcoming. Overall, great stay. Undoubtedly better than any hotel we would have stayed at.
