We stayed one month at Karen’s place- and had a very nice time. The room has a great view of the city, and the building has a small supermarket and bakery on the first floor. One is close to the metro station, about four blocks away, and Barrio Italia has many restaurants, coffees, and small marked places one can visit, and two supermarkets are also four blocks away. We found the room clean and cozy, but a bit too small for two people if one is planning for a long stay. We would recommend the host to clearly specify the square meters so that there is no misunderstanding. Karen was always nice and very attentive. Ah! One thing that we really missed was that there is no washer machine, something that can become an issue as one needs to contract people to come and pickup cloths to the room. The swimming pool was nice, but the gym a bit too small (just for one person at the time). Above all, we found the place comfortable and safe, and felt it had been part of a nice time in the big city
