Angelo was himself traveling during my stay, so he left me in the excellent care of his friend Evelyn - but he checked in numerous times from several time zones away. Evelyn went far above the call of duty, and worked hard to communicate with me in English as I labored with my puny Spanish skills.

The apartment was exactly as advertised. The view was nice, the location perfect, and the furnishings comfortable. What set this experience apart was the friendliness of the hosts, in person and remotely. I decided to make a day trip to Valparaiso and Evelyn offered to put me in contact with Angelo's nephews. My time with them was the highlight of my entire trip. This kind of connection is the reason I choose airbnb over hotels in my travels.

Thank you, Evelyn and Angelo, for making my stay pleasant and memorable.
