Gabriela and Jose’s place was perfect. The room is quite nice and on its own floor, along with a private bathroom and rooftop patio. You go through the main part of the house to get there and then climb a spiral staircase to the third floor.
They were wonderful hosts – always happy to chat, offer advice, or just let you quietly come and go. They both also speak excellent English, which prevented me from relying on my embarrassing and limited Spanish.
The location was also ideal. I loved the surrounding neighborhoods and spent many hours just wandering around them. The city is huge, but I feel like their home is well positioned within it.
