Francisco was everything you could hope for in a host - he was incredibly helpful and empathetic. Whenever we called him for any kind of matter (language translation, medical assistance, change in plans), he was prompt in responding and even suggested other alternatives.
Before we arrived, the water tank broke in the apartment (which meant every unit would be deprived of hot water for a week). Francisco went out of his way to install a makeshift hot water shower for us despite the electrical wiring challenges. What more can you ask for? When my buddy needed medical assistance, he was there every step of the way.
Apart from that, his apartment was centrally located that it was pretty convenient to go anywhere you desire be it by cab or walking or subway.
Thank you so much Francisco for your hospitality and kindness. I will always remember.
