Maria Jose sent me lots of information beforehand and was in contact just prior to our book in date. She was unable to meet us but had a perfectly functional key access box.
The apartment was, as advertised, within walking distance of major attractions and in an interesting part of the old town. Perhaps a little too interesting in some respects - my husband was propositioned as he walked in one direction - but I felt perfectly safe walking alone in the other direction.
The Pescado restaurant next door was excellent and the supermarket across the way was handy for essentials.
The place was smaller than we had expected but functional for 2 after a very long flight.
There were english language books which I appreciated as I hadn't brought one.
The staircase was being worked on which made access with luggage awkward. But the building is old and repairs are necessary.
