The apartment is a nice space in a centrally located area. Unfortunately, it needs updating and could be cleaner at check in. There is no hot water in the kitchen; the stove is fueled by a gas tank which has the potential to be dangerous if one is not careful. The hot water tank for the shower is small so it only allows for one person to take a shower and then the next person has to wait for the water to heat up again. Unfortunately, the cooking pots provided are old, broken and burnt. No cleaning products are provided to clean up during the week. Given that the apartment is located in a outdoor market area, on some of the streets near the market, there are piles of uncollected garbage - NO fault of the host. The outdoor market is amazing and a Must See. At night, it can be noisy because people gather in the streets. The host Fernando is very very nice, responsive and accommodating. I accidentally broke a small ceramic silverware holder and he kindly did not charge me . Overall, it's a fair deal for anyone on a limited budget and is ok with the basics.
