There were limited (cheap) options available when I booked, because I only scheduled near my travel dates. Good thing Augusto’s place was still available (plus the tourist spots were within walking distance, I never once used the public transpo). I was a bit uneasy booking at first because I was a solo traveler and a woman. But arriving at his place, he immediately made me feel comfortable. I understand he rushed home from his office just so he could welcome me and help me with my bags (fourth floor), unlike other hosts who will just leave instructions. He gave me enough space, and yet readily available whenever I needed directions/tips. Gracias, Augusto!
