We were met at the apartment by a local woman (not the host) who gave us the keys and showed us around. She didn't speak any English so it was a lucky thing that I speak and understand some Spanish. The apartment was a nice size and well equipped in the kitchen for doing some of our own cooking. It was very well located with everything we needed close at hand in the neighbourhood. I'm a light sleeper so I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep sometimes due to the street noise off of the bedrooms but others might be ok with that. We felt safe and comfortable while we were there and would stay there again.
