Louis is a tremendously caring, sweet, and available host. He came personally to give me the keys and a tour of the apartment with neighborhood tips and lots of detail. One day when I couldn’t work the drain on the sink, Louis came within 10 minutes to show me. The apartment is homey and full of Louis’s mementos and “finds.” It is completely away from tourists in a locals neighborhood. And a 15 minute walk got me to the main metro line. The bus is even
closer. There are lots of windows and fresh air. Even on hot days, if there was a breeze, I did not need to use the air conditioner. 6 or 8 blocks away on the same street is a fantastic music cafe with great coffee and fresh juices and a full bar.
