We enjoyed our stay in Jose's apartment, which was very well located. In fact, less than a minute from his home is Opera metro station (situation in the large town square), with the Opera house and a host of restaurants, music stores, cafes, and such nearby. We could not have hoped for a better location.

As for Jose's communication, it can be described as was quick and clear, which made it easy for us to reach his apartment from the airport. Once arrived, he left us coffee and tea (much appreciated), provided us with all the information we needed, and his home was overall comfortable.

A few small details:

The shower is a bit odd, but you get used to it. However, your morning rinse must be quick so that water does not leak out of the bathroom and onto the floor.

Also, there are some ants in the house. Not an army, but enough to notice. There is a can of spray -- but most importantly -- just don't leave any food on the counters, and clean up after eating (the same rule applies elsewhere in the world).

Overall, Jose is a good host, and for the price and location you really can't go wrong.
