Carlos was extremely communicative and did a great job of responding very quickly. The apartment was exactly as it is in the photos. Carlos was not there for check-in, and I never met him but a wonderful lady checked me in and was happy to assist with questions. The apartment is in a safe neighborhood, within walking distance to everything! The only problem is that there is a very loud club or dance school upstairs, and they operate between 10pm-5am with music, stomping, dancing, and singing. I had a hard time sleeping. Best to bring earplugs, and know that there will be noise. However, they seemed to be closed on Sundays and Mondays, so if you're booking during those days, you're in the clear!
The apartment had a kitchen which had a refrigerator, stove/oven, toaster, hot water boiler, and microwave. Also, there was a little hand juicer for the incredible oranges you can get for super cheap in the supermarket! I recommend shopping locally and taking advantage of the kitchen because it's incredibly inexpensive.
