Alex was a great host, we were delayed and he was gracious about having to meet us later than expected. He gave us a lot of information on public transportation and he had maps available for us. The apartment was just as described and everything was working well. Truly a great experience, no regrets. Bed was comfortable, place was spotless. The neighborhood feels very safe even walking home at night. There is an elevator and that was big plus. The wifi is FAST. Sitting in the balcony after an exhausting day of sight seeing was great, we coincided with a festival in town and we saw fireworks from the balcony! You have everything you need in this apartment, you can wash your clothes and hang them. I can't say enough about the experience. They even have a little polka dot shopping cart to go buy groceries, very helpful. The steep hill can be a problem if you've been walking all day long (and are out of shape like us), but you have options and Alex was very kind to point all of those out to us. The bus 114 was especially helpful, stops a few yards from the door of the place but look at the schedule, it doesn't run on Sundays. Also cabs are pretty cheap and can be found around the stations.
Alex was so kind to let us leave our bags in the place on our last day while we went to Monserrat, that was also incredibly helpful. Thank you Alex for everything. I hope we get to come back to your beautiful city! Rosa and Ray
