Pros: The apartment was as shown in the pictures. Everything was clean and airy. The location was perfect with a coffee shop beneath the apartment, a market on the corner and restaurants all around. The neighborhood felt safe; there's a police station nearby. I would stay here again.
Cons: Upon arrival, we found out the free parking was not a reserved space, but just free street parking. The problem with that is there was never a space available. It was nerve racking trying to decipher the parking signs especially when the hosts don't speak English. We ended up parking at Mr. Parkit under the Marriott by the shopping mall (several blocks away). The other issue was just the communication barrier. I think everything would have been easier if I could have communicated with the hosts. For example, I called Alex and I had to hang up and wait almost 20 minutes for a response which was after I sent an email and it was translated.
All in all, my family and I enjoyed our time and we would love to visit again.
