We never met our host but he sent Lola to meet us and let us in. She was very friendly but spoke little english. She left us a number to call if we needed her for anything but we had to contact her.
This place is in a super location just a very short distance from Alfalfa Plaza which is a verycomfortable place to hang out and watch people and the children playing. Its a small neighborhood meeting place when compared to the larger plazas. around the city but it was my favorite place in the whole city..
The apartment is clean, and quiet and not too small for 3 people. The hot water heater though is too small. It was a challenge to get clean and rinsed before the hot water ran out. The kitchen could use a few things too. We managed to enjoy our wine and cheese and bread nightly despite there are no wine glasses in the cabinet and only one fairly dull knife in the drawer. Two of the inside doors need trimming on the bottom so they don't stick on the marble floor.
I mentioned the minor shortcomings above in part because Lola told us this is a fairly new rental on Airbnb and the owner wants feedback for making the place even cozier.
This review and the corkscrew we left are our small contribution to making this place even better for the next travelers. We would certainly stay here again . I feel we got good value for our money .
