Rafael was a great host. I had no problem communicating with him while trying to book this place. Very patient and answered all my questions. On the day of our arrival he was there to receive us and also went over the rules of the house. Place looked exactly like the images shown in the web. I would say it comfortably fits 6 people in beds and 2 have options of sleeping on a sofa or twin size mattress in the living room. Place is spacious enough for 8 to enjoy some time there in the apartment.
Location was great and about 3 blocks away from the beach. You will find a lot of small restaurants and deli stores all around the neighborhood. If you are looking for banks there are some about 3 blocks away from the hotel/penthouse. Staff from the building was friendly and helped getting us around town with information. Valeria the cleaning person that goes to the apartment around 3 times a week is very sweet and leaves the place spotless! She will also wash your clothes if needed.
One negative thing about our stay was that it took us a while to figure out the hot/cold water for showers. Water pressure was also low and toilets would clog. Oh, and no guests allowed. Besides that everything else was great! Great host and a very nice place.
Thanks Rafael!
