Mercedes is a gracious woman who offers her home for a very competitive price! She was very easy to communicate with over the site and through email even though she speaks little English and we speak little Spanish! This apartment has plenty of room for a family to relax! The open floor plan of family room and eating area/kitchen makes it easy to spend time chatting, cooking, or playing games on the oversized coffee table. The patio right off the kitchen is great to use at night especially. But, my daughter enjoyed playing there during the day. We kept the sliding glass doors open most of the time to enjoy the beautiful air. The apartment is very clean and has a very calming energy. It also has such a cheery feel from all the windows. We recommend the coffee shop right across the street for amazing coffee drinks, mint-ginger lemonade, and baked goods!
