The apartment was lovely. Clean, well equipped and furnished, and exactly as described in the ad. The location is a short walk from all the major sites and is well served by buses to the further areas of the city. The area of Santa Cruz itself is very nice with narrow winding streets and and great local bars.
Juan was great at communicating and check in and out was very smooth. He even sent a list of recommended sites, bars and restaurants when I arrived. he was nothing but friendly and helpful and I'd gladly stay on his apartment again.
