The apartment is beautiful, the location could not be better—literal yards away from my two main points of interest, la Lonja de Seda and Mercado Central. As other reviews had reported, Juan is an amazingly welcoming host, giving me enough tips for a trip three times as long, along with a hand-annotated map of the area. He was also extremely patient with my practicing my terrible Spanish, when it would probably have been easier for us both to speak English.
