Alvaro was a wonderful host, contacting us well before or arrival to make sure accommodations were appropriate for our family. He went out of his way to purchase some basic groceries for us, set up a crib for our baby and bought a baby security gate for the stairs just got us. He went out of his way to help me order a camera (he is a photographer) while in town. Definitely one of the best hosts we've had. As for the apartment, it is large and modern. Quiet and private. Everything we needed was available.
