Blanca and Paul are a pair of welcoming and caring hosts. They made sure I had everything I needed, were very approachable and gave me the space and privacy I was looking for. They told me about shopping and eateries nearby, transportation routes, places to visit. When I mentioned about taking one of their spare bikes out, Paul made sure there was enough air in the tires and lent me a helmet--it's such a shame I didn't get a chance to use the bike. Paul also lent me a pair of sunglasses when he saw I didn't have any. Blanca called me a cab for the airport when the number I got for a cab company turned out to be a cruise-line operator. I would've missed my flight if it wasn't for her help!
Additionally, their dog Lola is an adorable furry bundle of joy whom you'll love to pet.
I returned late (after midnight) on two out of the three nights during my stay and felt very safe walking around by myself. People in the neighborhood are friendly and are happy to offer you a greeting and a smile.
