Ana Cristina’s place is in the middle of several neighborhoods. There seem to be hostels nearby, but it’s quiet in the bedroom at night. It’s a small city dwelling with all the essentials. Probably the biggest draws are the very thoughtful, friendly, and responsive host(s). We communicated with Ana Cristina but ended up meeting her daughter during check in. They also had some very thoughtful and appreciated touches for us.
We have just one caveat - it was very humid in the place, to the extent that we never felt like we or our clothes could get/stay clean and dry. The windows opened and let in fresh, cool air, but also the mosquitoes that were devouring us. Perhaps we needed to understand how the dehumidifier works better, and a fan would have helped make nighttime more comfortable for sleeping.
