We were greeted upon arrival by Alba's husband, Carlos. The neighborhood was very calm, easy to get to from metro, close to supermarkets and cafes, and safe. Its great if you are looking for a place with a local touch. The apartment is very open, clean, and with state of the art appliances. The bathrooms and showers (rain shower!) worked very well as well as the washing machine. The terrace outside is quaint and lovely to wind down on. The AC and fans worked very well. The entry way had useful information regarding maps of the city, the host's contact cards & pamphlets of various attractions. There is a little lift you can take to help you with your luggage which we appreciated. Hairdryer worked well and the towels/bedding was good. Lots of space for you to settle into and spread out comfortably. When checking out the host offered to call cabs for us (which we didn't need but it goes to show how helpful the hosts were during our stay).
