This is a great find. For starters, the location is perfect. It is close to the beach, lake, subway, and restaurants, yet it is located in a peaceful, residential neighborhood of lovely tree-shaded streets. There is a tiny neighborhood park in front of the apartment with little food/beer truck where some nights musicians play chill music like bossa nova or tunes by the Beatles. The room itself was spacious, well-equipped (including a mini-fridge), and full of sunlight. Raymundo is very easy-going, so it feels comfortable to hang out in the living room and to use the kitchen. His adult son lives next door, and is also friendly and helpful. I stayed for a month, and I would have been happy to stay for longer. I thoroughly recommend this place.
