Carlos is a very gracious host and his apartment is amazing. A quiet, secure, well-maintained building in a neighborhood with easy access to quality restaurants, cafes and markets. Close to bus and underground transportation. The bi-level apartment was sparkling clean, very well furnished and tastefully decorated. The lower balcony is ideal for breakfasting al fresco and upper balcony provides nice cityscape and sunset views. An oasis of calm and privacy in a bustling city neighborhood. Private laundry and fully stocked kitchen added to the "home away from home" feeling. We had a special request for fragrance-free laundry products and Carlos met it admirably, even adding in fragrance-free toiletries for our use. Carlos, you are the best! If you enjoy coffee as much as we do, you'll find a variety of gourmet appliances for brewing the perfect cup. Communication was a breeze. Carlos responded very quickly to all questions and concerns despite big time zone differences, and provided good practical insider tips on navigating the airport commute and currency exchange. Despite the fact that we didn't get to meet Carlos in person, our interactions with the building doorman (Javier) and with the maintenance personnel were all very positive. All our needs were taken care of promptly and courteously. We highly recommend this listing. It was our delight to be guests here!
