We never met Jamie or his family, we just communicated via the AirBnB-app. The communication was aloquent. The apartment is good if you are on a tight budget, if not I would not recommend this. It is located next to the street, but points toward the back yard. During our stay it was loud. The towels were clean, however the shower and kitchen did not meet our hygienic expectations. Its close to Mercado Roma and Mamarumba. If you don't mind walking long distances, one can walk to most of the attractions.
