Our host was there to greet us when we arrived which was fairly late at night and we appreciated the face to face encounter. The location was great. The bed was very comfortable and the apartment quiet so we could sleep. There was plenty of hot water. We were satisfied with most of the things offered, although there is a wide disparity between what I (as a homemaker) view as a "fully equipped kitchen" and what was provided. There was a microwave oven, but no microwave safe dishes to cook in. All instruction books were in Spanish and I only speak English which made it difficult to operate the oven, and washer/dryer. There was a major problem with the internet which went down several times during our stay. Our host did come several times to try to deal with the problem. We do not have a cell phone and the apartment phone could not reach any of our host's cell phone numbers, so we had no way to contact him. The toaster was not operating when we arrived, and our host was able to get it unstuck when he came to check on the internet, but later it stuck again and we had to repeatedly "fix" it. Both fry pans are warped. There were only two wine glasses, one red and one white. This is a very nice apartment in a great location, but when it comes to meal preparation and apartment living, it is only good for Spanish speakers with cell phones who are passing through.
