Ricardo was a great host! Even before we arrived he checked in on us to make sure that our trip was running smooth and when we arrived he made us feel very welcome in our new home (at leas for a week!) The apartment was clean and everything was provided for us to feel a home. Ricardo went out of his way to make basically a personalized tour book of the city!!! It was complete with multiple maps of important places, all of the bus and metro lines, step by step instructions on how to get around and lists of good places to eat! But even without those much appreciated extras Ricardo was a fantastic host who took time to make us feel comfortable and checked in on us to ensure that we had everything we needed.
