I stayed with Carlos for a month in order to get myself familiar with the city, as I would be moving here permanently afterwards. Carlos and his wife were very helpful when it came to recommending places to visit, restaurants to eat, and areas to avoid. They were very friendly and flexible when it came to ensuring that I had everything I needed. I was extremely impressed by how prepared my room was - it came equipped with a First Aid Kit, soap, shampoo and other necessities that would last me my entire duration. Granted that you might find these things in a hotel stay, but having them ready for me definitely helped me adjust. The home was clean, though the public spaces were a bit hot due to windows and doors being opened. However the private space was very spacious and came with a personal AC stand-up unit that you could control to suit your own needs. The kitchen is fully-stocked and if something is missing, they are always available and accommodating. Whether you are staying for a short period of time or long, I highly recommend Carlos's place. The location is very close to two subway lines as well as a large variety of restaurants. Yum!
