Marcos was a great host! He was very communicative and met us to check in. The apartment is perfect for just two people and if you plan to be out on the town all day. The only issues we experienced were the neighbors. The walls are paper thin so we could literally hear everything going on in their apartment including the music blasting all night. Just bring ear plugs and you should be fine though. Would recommend especially for carnival because not only do you have a great beach view but a view of all the shenanigans going on outside!
