Tincho is a fabulous host. He’s super friendly, and he speaks great English, which comes in rather handy for us Americans who didn’t learn quite enough Spanish before making the trip down ;).

We especially liked how comfy the bed was, and the dividing screen was a nice touch -- that makes it easier for, say, one person to work on their laptop on one side of the room without disturbing the other person who maybe wants to take a nap or something on the other side of the room. Plus, the street outside is pretty quiet even during the day, so that helped too.

Just as a heads-up, the oven isn’t the newest model around -- it’s probably from the '50s or '60s. It works fine, but its thermostat has measurements of something like "1," "2," "3," and "4" (rather than "350 degrees" or something). So if you pick up, say, a pre-made pizza at the market and you want to bake it, you kind of just have to eyeball it. But that’s not too big a deal if you plan on eating out or using the stovetop most nights anyway.

All in all, the place was great and Tincho was a delight. We’d recommend the place to anyone.
