Eder, the host was a friend from the first day. He's a very welcoming and supportive guy. I actually felt at home. He took me on touristic bike rides to see the city, and I also liked how he cared so much about people and the environment for that matter, and animals too. I learn't a lot about the NGO he works for and even got to volunteer. The apartment is quite unique and trendy, with recycled wooden shelves with interesting books, recycled glasses with candles and cactus, and a communal table where I learnt about many local and traditional foods and customs. The neighbourhood is very safe, even to walk around late at night and has everything you need right at your door step. Next door is a great park where people do zumba and soccer etc. And if you like hip cafes, bars, they're only a block away. I highly recommend staying.
