Our host and his wife were everything you would want. We changed our plans and decided to try and come in to the apartment a day early. Even though Rafael was out of town, he quickly made other arrangements with his wife. She scurried over the the apartment to make sure it was all ready for our early arrival. She was on time and graciously let a tired group of travelers into this lively, open and well located apartment. She showed us all we needed to know and left a detailed notebook with highlights to the area as well as contact information for her if we needed them.
