Staying at Lakshmi’s place is one of the things that I love about this service. When I travel now, for me it’s often more about the people that I meet than the things that I see. We were fortunate enough that Lakshmi was around and we had many interesting conversations. For those of you who are not fluent in Spanish, Lakshmi speaks impeccable English, having lived in the states for more than a decade. She gave us numerous tips and suggestions about where to go and where to eat. Her flat is very stylishly decorated and very clean. The room is small and dark, making it conducive for sleeping, not necessarily for hanging out. There’s an attached patio for your own private use but, given the angle of the sun, that was dark as well. There is a nice rooftop deck that you can use. The Roma Norte neighborhood was very nice and we felt totally safe. The bed was very comfortable, but I think it is a double, not a queen. There is a private bathroom for your use, but bring a bathrobe since it is not attached. Lakshmi’s apartment is on a very quiet street and the building is set even further back from the street, ensuring that you will hear no noise. An unbelievable value and an even better hostess. Highly, highly recommend. Her dog, Reynaldo, was very adorable as well.
