Andre was not in town, so he had a friend named Lennie help us with check in. Lennie was very nice, helped us with our bags, and was especially helpful getting in to the place after I accidentally locked us all out upon arrival.
Andres place is at the very top floor, separate from the other floors in the house- you have your own bathroom plus the bed space/ common area. The room is quite decent, but better for 3 or less people. For 4 of us it was a bit cramped (with only one bathroom). The place was not quite as clean or nice as we expected, but doable and the location was in a quiet, quaint neighborhood. Very close to shopping and a main motorway, with free curb parking.
