Never met the host but we communicated via messages and David was quick to respond. Location is great! Close to many cute neighborhood’s and yet away from the noise . Cleaners come to clean the room every week day, which is very convenient. Also , the wifi was strong enough to work without a problem. The only down sides are that the space feels a bit dark and compact, and the bed is a little hard. Would definitely recommend for short stays. We were there for 2 weeks and it was a good value for what we paid.
