The host, Carlos, was accommodating, friendly and available when needed. Took on my reservation last minute and that was appreciated. The apartment has many "pros" and some significant "cons". Cons: As mentioned by previous reviews the AC is virtually unusable. Doesn't cool the space adequately and more importantly is way too loud even for the heaviest sleeper. Leaving the windows open DID prove to be adequate in regards to staying decently cool. HOWEVER, (odd and unimportant as it may seem) there was a frequent/consistent "pinging" sound throughout the night which I assumed to be drainage from the upstairs neighbor's AC unit. I don't consider myself a light sleeper and it kept me from getting a good night sleep. Pros: Location is very convenient, secure building, internet was very fast and cable worked as advertised.
