Vanessa was a great host! We didn’t spend much time home but it was always quiet and she was always very friendly when we saw her. When we check d in she left us a much appreciated jug of cool water and a couple maps of the area. The neighborhood has all the things you would need for day to day and wasn’t a very long train ride (metro) to the more touristy areas. It got a bit hot but we were okay with the fan and the window open. Everything was very nice and clean, especially the bathroom. Best of all was the short walk to the beach!
