Communication prior and check-in with Jose was a breeze. The apartment is on the top floor, so it is a work out to get luggage up, but this is made clear at time of booking. The location is excellent, very close to the subway stop, and very close to shops, restaurants. Jose is a very thoughtful host - we appreciated the basic food items in the kitchen, as well as coffee and tea. He also left an excellent bottle of wine! The bathroom is well stocked with anything you may need. The space is small and cozy with a comfortable bed. We highly recommend Jose and would stay again.
