I was immediately wowed by the time and care the hosts invested into personalizing the really large home. My room was beautiful with a balcony, and the neighborhood definitely has the ambience of the Lower East Side in NYC. Jorge and I briefly overlapped and he was willing to sit down with me and show me a map of the area, where to eat, what's free, etc. Even though I was missing a fan in my room on the first night, they immediately remedied that the next day. There were a lot of other guests staying there from all over the world at varied lengths, so it was cool meeting some of the others, especially the girl next door to me. Really charming place!
