Mata is friendly host and explains the city well for you to navigate your way around. He offers maps and guides to help as well. The metro stop is super close to his place, only about 3-4 blocks if you exit/enter at the correct spot. I went the wrong exit from the station the first few times and I got turned around and it took longer. The only negative aspect for me was the shower. There was hair all over the grate on the shower floor and it clogged the drain. It wasn't cleaned on the second day/night of my stay either. It was gross. I am glad I had sandals to wear.
