Joel’s place was better than advertised. He gave thoughtful details beforehand so that we were able to find his place and checkin without problems. It takes ~23 steps to get to his apartment. His place is sparkling clean and has all of the amenities you need. Joel added extra touches like an outlet converter, shampoo, soap, etc. The apartment was well laid out and we were very comfortable there.
The apartment is in a quiet area. The place is close to several bus lines so it was easy to get around the city. The apartment is also 1-2 bus stops away from a couple of food markets and ~15 min bus ride away from the train station. The only very small downside was that there were only a few restaurants within close walking distance. However, there was a large selection of restaurants on the bus lines close to the apartment so it was a minor inconvenience.
I would definitely stay here again.
