Charo was an amazing host from beginning to end. The rooms are perfect residencia type living, and everyone in the house is friendly and helpful. It's ideal for people looking for something longer term (a week +) because you get a big discount for longer stays. The location was just what I was looking for, a couple blocks from the restaurants and bars along la alameda. Highly recommended for someone looking for an economical option, longer term, and conveniently located.
