Xaris was an exceptional host. Before arrival, he was in constant contact with me about my arrival time and even offered to help with finding my friends and I transportation to his place. That was extremely helpful since it can be inconvenient to find transportation while you're traveling to a place you're not familiar with. Upon arrival, the place was more than exceptional. The lodging had great decor and was very clean. Xaris provided perfect instructions and even had a printed out listing of all his favorite places to eat at and visit. As you can imagine, this helped tremendously with our food choices since we were so tired from our previous trip to even think about it. All the choices where great and we tried out most of them if not all of them! The location was more than ideal. It really is central to everything and you can pretty much experience the city to the fullest while staying there. Bus stops are only a few blocks away and you can find a decent amount of night life from just a few walking steps away. Xaris is also very good at communication. He would always respond promptly if there were any questions if not right away. Our stay was definitely more then we can ask for!
