Regina and Abel arranged for their English-speaking friend to meet me at their nearby metro station to escort me to their rental condo and orient me. She was very friendly and thorough, giving me good tips on local eateries, too. The condo is well-decorated and comfortable. I met Abel and Regina, who are very gracious and friendly and helpful. I took advantage of their washing machine and dried my clothes on lines in their laundry room, which was very convenient. The kitchen was fully equipped and had milk, dark chocolate candy, and Port wine for me--yummy! An excellent coffee machine with plenty of coffee was available. Always plenty of hot water. The neighborhood and building are very safe.
