Ricardo’s place was great for its value. The house was clean and had all basic amenities. Like most people have said Ricardo is very genuine and helps whenever he can. He speaks Spanish and English very well and will give you suggestions for the city. It’s about 15ish minutes to the metro station. It is close to a mall with lots of shops/ food but I would skip it and explore other parts of the barrio...Also eat at the taco restaurant close by!! So good and cheap!
