Charly is the perfect host: Intelligent, personable, and very prompt to respond to requests. The apartment is better than its listing. It is complete (TVs' in bedroom and living room, working cable and WiFi, well appointed kitchen). There is plenty of closet space, the bed is comfortable (new pillows, high thread count sheets) and Charly actually put in new light fixtures while I was there.
There is wonderful outside light streaming in unless you chose to roll down the shades, there is ample space, everything works (or will if you ask Carlos to fix it). The location was new for me but I loved Microcentro (safe, walking distance to public transport, near major tourist attractions). Rosa, housekeeper extraordinaire, comes to spruce up the space every week...and she is a treasure that I wish I could clone and export.
