The host is very friendly and welcoming (although note she only speaks Spanish), and the location is good. The bathroom was clean and the room was very quiet, comfortable and cool. Unfortunately I agree with other reviews that say the apartment smells. The living room, corridor and kitchen smell stale and smokey, and the kitchen was a bit dirty. She gave me two towels, one of which smelled very bad. The room is not worth the price. This is an honest and fair review.
