Our host was waiting when we arrived late in the evening. We were shown around the apartment, given a good rundown on the neighborhood and then we were walked to a nearby restaurant where we were able to have a late dinner. Our host came by to check on us the next afternoon, and thereafter checked in almost to daily via email to see if we needed anything. They were very kind and welcoming and even invited us over for drinks.
The apartment was just as described. It is a lovely building, secure, and the neighbors are nice.
The neighborhood was the perfect place to be--there are restaurants, a convenience store and a tamale lady right on the block, and all the sights and shopping are a short walk away. I would definitely stay here again.
