Hector was a very nice host, he had had everything prepared for us. The place was just like in the pictures, and we loved that we had our own little bathroom and kitchen. The area is safe, and the metro is closeby. We liked that he mentioned the noise (it's because the metro runs on a high line closeby) beforehand. It's not a big deal at all though, we could sleep alright and the neighbourhood is quiet. There are about 30 stairs to climb to reach the apartment so it's not your place to stay if you can't do that, otherwise it's very nice. :) The apartment is equipped with everything you might need, you can even fix a quick meal if you like and have your morning coffee. Big grocery store is about 10 mins walk.
Hector was very easy going and open to any suggestions. He really thinks about what one might need when staying there. We would definitely recommend him as your host.
