Mercedes is the best host you could have: not only is she hospitable and discreete, she really makes you feel like home. Far from an impersonal host, she is straightforward and helpful, approachable and overall a wonderful person. I was welcomed with a detailed list of local recommendations and a handmade welcome card. :)
As for the house: amazing location, everything is in order, clean, as pictured, and you are provided with everything you need.
Also, you get to hang out with a lion, Michito bonito. :) Thank you both for the good times
