My stay with Richard was perfect from start to finish, I really couldn't have asked for a better host. Prior to my trip he offered helpful advice in planning my adventures and the cheapest ways to see the sights. When I arrived (during torrential rain and thunderstorms) he was outside waiting to help me with my bags and even laundered my wet clothes for me the next day. He also leaves wonderful home made baked goods out for you to enjoy! The apartment is sparkling clean and has a comfortable and homely feel. The bed is super comfortable and the bathroom is right next door. There is air conditioning and fans in the room so you can keep it to the temperature you like. The apartment is in a vibrant energetic area and it's easy to travel to anywhere you might like to visit. This was my first trip abroad on my own and I was a bit nervous but staying with Richard made me feel like I had a home to come back to every evening and I really hope to return for a visit again soon
