Jorge was a very nice host and I only have good things to say about how he received us and the apartment tour he gave us. The apartment is centrally located, easily accessible, well-stocked and very spacious. However, there are small annoyances future guests need to be aware of.

Things that the host cannot control -

1. It is very easy to hear noises from other levels and of people walking up and down the stairs.
2. It is also a bit noisy through the night (presumably of city cleaning staff on the streets)

Things that the host could control -

3. The shower was very awkward. The stall is too small and water is either too hot or too cold (I was not able to get comfortable temperature as long as I was there)
4. The apartment could be cleaned better and could actually be furnished less (walls and floors look too busy)

On the day of check-out, I called him at 8am (it was a Sunday) - he seemed to be annoyed by that. I was a bit confused - since he knew prior that I was going to checkout in another hour and as such, I was not made aware of his silent hours.
