Jacobo is a excellent host! He responds quickly and is so helpful.The apartment was definitely big and spacious for one person and I felt safe coming and going at all times. The neighborhood is very walkable and has a lot of great places to eat and shop, and there is a supermarket a few minutes away. Getting downtown is also easy to get to walking or via Uber.
The apartment building is shared by Jacobo’s family who also run an art school next door. I did often hear people coming in and out of the apartment building along with other noises but Jacobo does make this clear in the notes before you book so it wasn’t a big deal for me.
The apartment is a bit older but it is filled with lovely artwork made by Jacobo’s dad who was a famous artist. I didn’t find the bed that comfortable and the apartment was cold so if traveling in the winter bring long pajamas and socks to sleep in. I did ask Jacobo for a heater and he brought me one right away!
Overall I would recommend if you’re looking for an affordable place with no frills, a great host, and excellent location!
