José’s communication before my stay was excellent. The apartment was exactly as described, great value, and perfect for my stay. He was away, but put me in touch with Ytztel, his friend who shares the apartment. The arrangements with her for check-in and check out were very easy and flexible. One day I had trouble with my key and her dad rushed over to help me figure it out. Can’t say enough about their incredible hospitality. The neighborhood in Lavapies is lovely, safe, and super walkable to almost anywhere you’d want to explore. Lots of fantastic restaurants and bars with a few blocks. Highly recommend staying at José’s place.
