Miguel was very welcoming and helpful. The area Santa Teresa is set on a hill overlooking the city and the view from Miguel's house is lovely. There are regular buses to and from the city, and they are fine as long as you don't mind the way the drivers drive (dangerous from and Englishman's point of view). A previous reviewer mentioned that the taxi drivers ripped him off - I didn't gret ripped off once by a taxi driver while I was there. (Miguel was a bit surprised by this).
