josé is super kind and generous. he offered me lots of suggestions for places to go, and even offered me some of his dinner!
he gave me open access to his kitchen and had the little touches like outlet adapters that i could borrow.
his place is clean and quiet and in a great location. i walked everywhere! i walked to the water in no time, and to the market, and wandered around the beautiful hilly cobblestone road neighborhoods for hours.
i felt totally safe and welcome, and the only thing i would change is having to leave so soon!
