Communication and check in were very easy. Paloma's house is cheerful and stylish, and we especially loved the deck. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with not only a wide variety of implements, but also spices and basics like olive oil. (Who wants to buy a bottle of olive oil for a one week stay?) The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom very nice (including a great shower). As other have noted, there is no TV, and seating in the living room is limited. There are three desks, so it was very easy to work there, and the Internet connection was excellent.
