Samuel was a wonderful host ... very helpful and patient. He was very responsive prior to the trip, with my last minute booking, giving me suggestions on the most economical and convenient way to get to his place. when the bus took longer than expected, he rushed to the bus stand to pick me up so that i could get to his place easily and make to my meeting as soon as possible - it was like having a friend in the city!!!! During my stay, he helped with taxi bookings and was generally very attentive. he was also considerate and accommodating with my non-standard check in and check out times. his english was impeccable and it was very easy to co-ordinate all plans with him.
i was a solo traveller so i would have liked to know that the apartment was shared by 3 other guys .. but in any event all of them were so nice and friendly that nothing should be attributed to it .. just that its nice to know. They had done a great job of cleaning the room. The bathroom was very clean too. i have no complaints at all .. They even offered to make me tea and let me use their kitchen as if it was my own .. there is a little balcony where they grow kitchen and flowering plants .. lovely brief experience!
