Jose's place was a nice weekend stay. Check in is at 12, but my flight arrived early, & Jose let me check in early as well. Which was so nice b/c I had been up since 3:30 am. Mel was so sweet, I loved talking w/ her. The house looks just like the pictures. Full access to streaming services. & details like makeup towels - which was so nice since I forgot makeup removing wipes.
When it comes to the neighborhood, as other reviews have mentioned, the area is slightly suspicious, esp as a young single female staying alone. There was one night that I was slightly on edge b/c the neighborhood kids like to play w/ fireworks (I had mistaken the noise as a different loud popping sound until I had checked my messages from Jose who clarified). Otherwise, I felt generally safe.
I traveled via Uber/Lyft my whole stay & was w/in 5-15 min of the things I wanted to visit.
