Jose is a very sweet person and was responsively immediately with any questions.
The apartment however left much to be desired. While luminous, the apartment was *much* smaller than described or pictured. It is also a studio apartment, not a one bedroom. The bathroom and the kitchen are quite tiny and the beds when separated are twin size (read: very small). The apartment advertises having a washer however there is one washer for the *entire* building (10 floors) and each wash takes over 2hours rendering it difficult to find a free moment to wash laundry. These facts/details should be written/explained in the apartment listing. Also the bathroom was very dirty (mold in toilet and in shower) and the sheets had stains on them. We had to wash the sheets our first night which was quite an adventure given the one washer issue.
Overall, I would recommend Jose as a host but with hesitation given the circumstances we encountered during our stay.
