We booked Anna's place without knowing what to expect. Anna is a great host, she lives (with her daughter) just below the (4 separate) rooms that are available for renting. She helped us lots but left us much room for privacy too which we greatly appreciated. When we booked/rented the room we thought (looking at the photos) we would have the whole place to ourselves, it turned out however that there were four rooms all sharing the communal areas i.e. kitchen and spacious living room. there were many days where we would be the only tenants using these communal spaces and the sharing was never really a problem for us - we even got to know the other guests, always nice people with their own interesting stories. The part of the city (Santa Teresa) is a nice neighbourhood, generally quiet and safe, and there were very friendly bars/restaurants at walking distance where mostly locals would meet for drinks or food. We highly recommend Anna's place!
