Alina was a welcoming host both pre-arrival and when I had arrived. I enjoyed the location and convenience of the apartment. The Del Valle neighborhood was safe and had many dining options and services (like a pharmacy) within a 5 minute walk. I recommend the pizza restaurant directly across the street. I stayed in this apartment during a cold spell and it was difficult to stay warm because the building had no heat, but the owner didn’t make any arrangements for a space heater. I hadn’t notified Alina, so I don’t know if she would have tried to ameliorate the problem. The towels and linens are adequate but if you want better quality you should look at a higher caliber property. If you are traveling on a budget this property is a good option.
