At times the toilet wasn't flushed by the host which was unpleasant. Alex seems to be a fairly pleasant person but there are serious communication issues, as he only speaks Spanish and sometimes uses a phone translator. It didn't seem like he understood things about whose dishes were in the sink, and sometimes would ask something to be retrieved that was left by another guest (there can be multiple guests staying at his place at any given time as he has different rooms). He was never rude and the place looked pretty much as listed. However if you are staying there for more than one night and have work to do (as I did, on my laptop that I brought), the most disturbing thing was actually that Alex yells to himself at times. Never to any guest, and like I said, he is generally sweet. But I heard him shouting and screaming to himself sporadically every single day I was there. Kind of alarming and definitely disruptive. I was safe, but just be aware.
