Our host, Jose, was at the doorstep waiting for us and introduced himself as we approached the building. He escorted us to the apartment through a modern foyer and up a modern lift. His explanation of how everything worked, including a very different and tricky locking system at the front door was done in detail and in an unhurried manner. The rooms were spotless and well equipped with toiletries and nice coffee, a special touch. The dishwasher, fridge and washing machine were new and perfect. The bed was comfortable. Jose answered all our inquiries about what to see etc and sent an email half way during the stay to check that things were going well. The internet access was excellent as was the television and Foxtel set up. The position of the apartment was great and only a short walk to a tourist mall and in walking distance to most attractions. It was easy to find and only a short walk from the metro where we arrived. All in all a great experience provided by a wonderful owner.
