We enjoyed our stay at Alvaro's. His apartment is well located, only a five to ten minute walk to Santa Lucia metro station. There is a grocery store less than five minutes away and numerous restaurants within walking distance (including Casona Kusi which is a two minute walk and which we recommend!). The communication was easy as was our arrival and departure since the door has a key code. We also felt very safe as the apartment has a reception desk where you have to check in. Overall, the apartment was clean; however, the apartment's use as an airbnb shows in the minor details such as marks on the walls and doors, dusty light fixtures and a stain on one of the blankets. It is possible that these were a result of the person who stayed the day prior to us which only left Alvaro a limited time to clean. We would still recommend Alvaro's place.
