I never meet Josephine, but Ivan the host is friendly and helpful (I forgot to ask him who Josephine was). The place is a bit farther from the main touristic places than I expected but it is in a calm and safe neighborhood. There is a good mini market across the street with everything you could need. The ad needs an update in the photos because in the pictures you can’t see all of Ivan’s stuff. With small children it was a bit tough to keep them away from all the stuff when we were at the apartment, we had to guard everything with our luggage, chairs and stroller. If you are not traveling with children this will not be an issue.
