This was my first experience with Airbnb so I have nothing to compare it to, however I was quite pleased with the whole experience.

Ana always promptly responded to my emails with questions and concerns before I booked the room.

Unfortunately, Ana was out of town so I never got to meet her, but within a couple of hours of arriving she sent me a courteous text message asking if everything was fine and to let me know if I had any questions I can also ask her mom and her friends who were also staying at the apartment while I was there.

At first I was a bit shy and hesitant to bother her mom, but she was quite friendly and helpful. In fact, one evening when I got back she was baking a cake and we had a nice conversation. She told me that usually for Airbnb guests they had the place to themselves but just this time it wasn't the case. It didn't bother me at all to have them around. It actually made it quite a pleasant experience.

The location is fantastic and I'd definitely stay there again.
