The hosts are great - honest and communicative as well as amenable to the types of challenges you face when traveling internationally. The listing is accurate and the location really can't be beat. 2 blocks to teh near subway stop and walking distance to plenty of cultural venues. for folks who are looking to explore BA I highly recommend this space as it is both centrally located and in a safe area with all real neighborhood amenities like markets, bakeries, restaurants, ATM's etc...
