Steven's apartment was better than I expected. Traveling with my family, they can get a little fussy but all in all they were happy with the place. In terms of neighborhood, I'd have to say it's not the best (based on locals' advice); it did look a little shady and pretty scary during the night, but we didn't encounter anything or anyone that endangered us during our stay.
The bed was really nice, as well as the sofa bed. Overall the place looked clean, especially the toilet (very important!). Even better, the drinks in the fridge (mainly water and coke) was complimentary, so thank you Steven for that!
Be sure to check out the restaurant right across the street (Mais Arepa), they have surprisingly good food!
