We had a great stay. The place was clean. The accommodations were warm and welcoming. You could tell that Vanick and Deborah put a lot of care and thought into making their guests feel at home. Upon our arrival there were chocolates and a bottle of wine waiting for us-muffins and coconut water in the fridge. Our hosts had seen to every detail. We were conveniently located-about 10-12 minutes-to public transportation. The only caveat I would give is be prepared to walk up a pretty steep hill to get back there after a long day of sight seeing. Obviously if you have a car or take a taxi, that's not an issue. I highly recommend this private Castro Studio.
