Alfonso is a really nice host! My plans changed quite a bit during my trip, and he was super flexible about check in/check out. Also, when the airline lost my luggage, he and his friend made sure that I had what I needed for the evening, walked me to a restaurant to help me order in Spanish and offered to drive me to the airport in the morning to pick up my luggage - he really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. The apartment is modern, clean and comfortable. It's also one block from the subway, which is really convenient. i think some of the previous guest have noted some pros/cons in terms of the hot water and some slight noise from neighbors - i think overall the pros of a nice host/apartment and convenient access to the subway outweigh these cons.
