Cynthia and Jorge we're wonderful hosts. They left me with plenty of information to start my trip, and even a little bit of food in the fridge to get me going. The apartment was safe and beautiful. Very comfortable.
The neighborhood is a bit pricey, even for American dollars, but there's deals to be had with certain restaurants and there a market close by so you can cook for yourself.
Rent a bike! The paths are pretty convenient and the city is huge.
Highly recommended!
