The neighborhood was safe. Grocery store 2 blocks away with the main shopping area within a few blocks. Alex called the day of our arrival and met us at the door. We asked for a second key and he gave us one.
The showers were hot and the room temperature was comfortable. Large area in the kitchen connecting to a back patio was great for gathering. The bus line to downtown 1/2 block away. Rate was reasonable. Restaurants in the neighborhood easy to get to.
