Vincente's place was exactly as described. It had that very european style. It was more than we expected as far as prepared to receive guests. All you really have to buy is your food and he had already some food to accommodate us when we arrived (milk, jus pastry and yes even chocolates). This apartment is located next to everything you could need to stay and visit the area: supermarket, farmer's market, pharmacies, restaurants, tobacco shops to buy bus and metro passes, bus stops and the metro and the beach. These are all in a short walking distance. We appreciated the fact that he took the time to show us how to walk to the supermarket, the farmer's market, pharmacies and the bus and metro stops which are visible from the apartment. His apartment has maps of the area, information on places to visit and he even took time to show us what to visit and which bus or metro to take to get there. Vincente is a gem and a exceptional host. The apartment had a few issues and he took care of them immediately. We certainly recommend this apartment. It is a very quiet location.
