Álvaro was a great host. He was gracious even though I made a mistake with my arrival due to an overnight flight, even extending my stay for an extra day.
Location! Location! Location! His place is very centrally located. Wonderful.
There really are five flights of stairs, so you get a great workout. I did not mind it at all.
The place is very compact and the neighbors are very sensitive to noise. It you are with another person, you need to be very quite.
