the host, alex, is very nice. he was always in the apartment. he had clean towels and bottled water available. however, the description of the space is inaccurate. there was no living room, dining room, or private entry, and there was carpeting in the room instead of hw floors. if you're planning on cooking or storing more than one or two things in the fridge, or are looking for privacy, this is probably not the place. overall the cost for the needs of my stay was an OK value, and the location is wonderfully close to the park and beaches.
