Although Stela and her mother were extremely kind and welcoming hosts, the apartment itself was unfortunately very disappointing. The space was not as neat or clean as it appears on the pictures, and moreover felt very impersonal, being hastily put together with cheap ikea furniture (many pieces still had the tags on them!). What's great about airbnb is being able to experience a foreign city as a local does - I'm sad to say that that authenticity was sorely lacking here.
