Karla is a great host. She is very communicative, provided restaurant and location tips in the area, and was flexible with holding our bags when we arrived early and had a later flight after check out. The location is awesome, the apartment beautiful with great lighting and access to the roof if you want to spend time outside (plus meet some cool cats). It is a noisy area but manageable if you sleep in the main room and keep the door and window closed. With the lighting it gets hot, but two fans are provided. Overall great experience and great value.
