This trip was my first Airbnb experience. I was nervous about the whole process; deciding where to stay, what questions to ask etc... I searched for locations fairly close to transportation so I could get to where I was working easily. Andres responded very quickly to my request and answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. "How far is the subway from the apt?" (6 blocks) "How far is the closest grocery store" (6 blocks) etc... After getting answers to my questions I felt comfortable enough to make the 15 day booking.

Andres and I emailed each other several times prior to my visit. His uncle met me at the train station, directed me to the correct taxi company, gave them the address of my apt and handed me the key to it. Everything worked out very well getting in. I called Andres once I got into the apt and he gave me walking directions to the closest grocery. After stocking up on some breakfast essentials I walked to the subway to familiarize myself with getting downtown.

The apartment itself was very pleasant. The bed was surprisingly comfortable; I am very particular about beds and that was one of my biggest concerns. I slept well. Just past the grocery store were several nice restaurants; Primo being my favorite. It was right on the waterfront and the food was outstanding. On the way to the subway there was a neighborhood coffee shop where I ate lunch one day and picked up cinnamon rolls for breakfast quite often.

I was at Andres' apartment for 15 days. It was a long time to be away from my home but I found it to be a very comfortable substitute. I recommend Andres and when I return I'll try to stay here again.
