I stayed at Roberto’s place for 4 months while I was doing an internship downtown.
It’s in a safe neighbourhood (lots of families live in the area) and has a bus stop super close to the house. Downtown is a short bus ride and train ride away and is super easy to get to. (About 30-40 minutes.)
Roberto and the other family members (Jose and Carlos) were very friendly and live on site and can deal with any issues that arise. Communication was really easy and quick. There was a guide book left in my room when I arrived that had details about grocery stores and restaurants nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are also shampoos, conditioners, lotions etc for guest use. There are also 3 really friendly and cute cats that live on the first floor.
Roberto even drove me to the train station when I was leaving for the airport!
Highly recommended, especially for longer stays.
