nordin is a very helpful and prompt communicator. although the space we had was modest, it was clean, quiet and private (the bedroom). the people we shared the house with were nice and respectful. our stay was short but we give the listing high marks because it was as described, and the value was hard to beat. the only thing we didn’t expect was that the other guest was a smoker but he was mindful not to smoke when we were in the small terrace. and he was a pleasant neighbor as well. the nearby bodegas and eating places were very convenient and there were people and children out and about, we felt safe. we appreciated nordin’s hospitality very much.
