This place was fair, not as good as I'd hoped. The main issue was the strong odor of mold in the apartment. The living room carpet was quite wet. The host told me that the rugs had just been cleaned. Fair enough, but not sure how this equals the intense mold & must smell. Perhaps this is not the case all year. I was there in summer, therefore the rainy season. I also found the place to be darker than expected and the main bedroom is on the street so a bit of noise and no dresser or shelves to unpack in.
On the positive, good communication. The bed was quite comfortable and Maria's cooking (breakfast included) was delicious.
