The host waited for us for over an hour at the apartment because our plane was late. When we arrived she showed us everything in detail. She answered questions and made sure we understood everything. She did an excellent job.

The location of the apartment in Colonia Roma is very good as the district is a great choice. It makes you feel like you're part of the life as opposed to looking at it from inside a window. I recommend this area wholeheartedly.

I have a few issues with the apartment though. It's in an old building that appears to be sinking. The back left corner is probably 2 ft lower than the front right. You get used to walking up hill and downhill inside though. The electrical wiring needs a lot of attention as little is grounded. The light in the bedroom would flicker every so often after it was off which was a little disconcerting. The hot water heater is an on-demand type that isn't very fast. The host did a great job of explaining that you had to leave the water running in the shower for a really long time for it to get warm. We measured 5-10 minutes until it was luke warm. We got used to taking showers in a row, the first person got a luke warm shower and each one after that was a bit warmer, none were hot. Even coming from a society known for wasting water it was alarming how much water was wasted waiting for it to get hot. The only other issue we had was that we were here in December and at night it was very cold. Some heavy drapes over the windows would help the apartment keep warm at night. I realize the building is old and probably will never be leveled but fixing the wiring and hot water problems and adding window drapes to make it warmer in the winter would improve the experience.

To recap though the host did a great job of showing use the apartment and was very patient with us. Her emails were always prompt and pleasant. The location is perfect too!
