I had an absolutely lovely stay at Sara's apartment. Her mother welcomed me and was beyond kind in all interactions, came to get me from my bus even though it was not in her duties, checked to see if I needed anything during the week, even offered me some cake while I was waiting for my ride out of Castro, just because I was there. She was very welcoming and it made a difference.
The apartment was also very welcoming, spacious, comfortable and very well equipped - the first thought I had going inside was that the photos did not do it justice: I found it much nicer in reality than what I expected from the photos!
And of course, Castro is an adorable place to stay in.
So, overall, I could not have had a more pleasant time! Thank you again for having me, Sara, and my warmest greetings to your mom!
