My request to stay at Arlan's place was briefly int he balance as Arlan managed another party who eventually changed plans. My friends and I were so interested that we made sure Arlan knew of our enthusiasm. To his credit, we lucked-out and got the place. This is symbolic of a host that cares so big points there. The icing on the cake was Graciela who helps with the property and is the most charming and entertaining local. We all bonded with her and she helped us a lot with a variety of things. She also was able to find us an impressive exchange rate for currency. A huge bonus. She also sensed that our crew had to catch a soccer game the second we first arrived and made sure we caught the kickoff. Luckily, she's also a futbol fan! It was a great start. Last but far from least, this home/apartment is not only in an amazing location but is a mind-blowing place. High ceilings, a unique layout, some dali prints on the walls and a rooftop terrace made for a place whose charm scored a solid 10. WiFi was reliable as well. Can not wait to go back!
