Jose answered all my questions regarding public transportation in the area before my trip immediately. He made me felt comfortable that he was there when I needed him. He picked us up at the train station which helped a lot because the bus station #1 is couple blocks from the train station. #1 bus stopped right in front of the flat. going to town center took about 20 minutes by bus and the bus came every 9 minutes . the flat was big and had everything we needed. everything worked beautifully. bakery is downstair.
couple fruit stores right down the block. train station had a very good supermarket where we got most of our food supply. local tours meeting points were either at Alemeda principal or 1 stop further down using bus #1. it took about 15 minutes by bus #1. all in all, i am very satified with the stay at Jose's flat and thanks Jose for all his attentions and patience with my questions.
