Joel was an excellent communicator and he made sure we understood all directions to get to his apartment beforehand (including that the metro stations were closed). Apartment was bright, airy and clean after the cleaner did the magic. Location is perfect - near enough to sol, but on a slightly quieter street during the nights. Lots of mercados within walking distance and most of the inner city sights are accessible by walking. The a/c was brilliant for siestas during those hot days. And most of all, Joel made us feel at home with the breakfast goodies and tips on where to eat and listen to good music. Thumbs up!
