piso acogedor - SOLO HEMBRAS

The location was ideal; the home was clean and safe. Margaret was as pleasant as could be, but unfortunately, there were several communication issues from beginning to end. I could not reach Margaret during two significant situations that left me in a lurch. When I finally found her flat (the directions were poor to say the least- there are three streets with a similar name!) Her name was not on the outside of the building, so I didn't know what I would get into if I pushed the button on the wrong apartment. In a foreign country? That was a little scary. I lost my keys and couldn't find out when/if she would be home. I didn't know if I'd be locked out for hours/days, or if it was simply a communication issue. In addition, there was a major heat issue, and I didn't see her for 3 days; I was freezing! When we connected, she fixed it immediately, so it was a communication problem, not a responsibility one, but it was significant for me. She is a wonderful person, but she needs to: tell people how she can be reached in an emergency, be specific, especially with directions to her home, stay out of the renter's room, and have a working stove. These issues are fixable, and I do not doubt that she will make the necessary corrections. She is intelligent and warm-hearted (she cares for everyone in the neighborhood!), but her communication skills need work. Ultimately, I do recommend her, and I wish her well.

The room and the house were excellent, great location with supermarkets and bus stops nearby. The room has a fridge, fresh towels, a desk to study and is nicely decorated too. Margaret was friendly and welcoming.

I believe there was some sort of communication issue towards the end of my stay and I was not feeling comfortable/welcomed being out of the bedroom when at home. Also knowing that the host is choosing a vegan and organic diet often made me feel uncomfortable cooking anything that wasn't fit of such. Again, I'd eat in my room or would prefer to eat out to avoid the awkwardness

It was a lovely stay. Margaret was so friendly and loving. She took me with open arms and a warm heart. Her house was cosy and really clean. Every detail mattered. There was a mini fridge in the room, heat blankets on the beds, fresh towels, power outlets, and even teddy bears to keep you companied. Honestly, I would definitely come back again if I ever needed a host. There were also a couple of supermarkets walking distance and a bus stop just outside. The house is always quite and warm which made it a perfect study environment for me.
