The location is superb. Luis was a fantastic host w/ timely communication & information The high ceiling older apartment was on the second floor so, lots of steps. The place was spacious w/a strange layout: 1 bdrm was accessible only by walking thru another bedrm. 1 bedrm did not have windows. The kitchen was useful w/electric burners & a large frig. Unfortunately, it was lacking in cooking utensils (spatula, etc.), the nonstick pans were totally scratched up & should be replaced. Also, the pots were old & shld be replaced. There were plenty of plates & flatware. The washing machine was useful but did not have directions (use the 60 min cycle otherwise it will take almost 2.5 hours to wash). The dryer (open the window & put the hose outside, holding it in place by closing the window a bit) worked great! The housekeeper could use extra training as there was no dish detergent, sponge, extra toilet paper, dishwasher detergentor hand soap (delivered later while we were at dinner).
