Desola was the best of hostesses, very open, friendly, funny and eager to give you a pleasant stay. She likes to talk to you, so you do really feel welcome in the house. I did not investigate the neighborhood closely, but the location is not far from the train to go to the city which is very convenient for a tourist like me. The house is very neat and clean, so you feel great walking through the door. The dog is a treat, overwhelmingly happy and cute, and is to no disturbance at all.
