The apartment is exactly as pictured and was extremely clean. The windows get fantastic light, which makes the desk area a wonderful place to work but also makes it a bit difficult to get the bedroom fully dark even with blackout shades. Norberto was very gracious in allowing me to check-in early and was understanding even when he and his daughter had to wait for me because of a delay in collecting my bag at the airport. The furnishings are basic and I will reiterate an earlier reviewer's comment that the kitchen is poorly equipped for much more than boiling water, making coffee, chopping fruit, or frying a single egg. But if you're not planning on cooking much, this place is well located next to the metro and at least 4 different grocery stores, the hosts were accommodating and responsive, and I had a very comfortable stay. Thank you!
