I had a nice stay at Joaquin's apt, but was definitely surprised by a few inconsistencies between the listing and the actual property. Joaquin himself was very nice, friendly and helpful. He offered great directions and wonderful suggestions around town for food and nightlife.

The apartment was nice and neat, and in a great location, but the photography in the listing is quite misleading for the space it portrays. All the rooms were smaller than expected, with the living rooms and kitchen actually being one room, not separate ones. The "sofa bed" is a couch and not a full fold-down bed, and looks much more bed-like in the photos than in person. The bathroom is quite small as well.

The noise in the mornings is another issue. While the neighborhood is quite quiet at most times, the cafe directly downstairs opens early and seems to be a main spot for locals on their way to work. Even with the noise and light reducing curtains drawn, it sounded like we were sleeping in a restaurant kitchen as soon as the cafe opened. We used earplugs and a sound machine app on the second night to try and sleep past 8am.

Overall this is a fine property for the rate IF you know what you're getting space- and bed-wise, and are a heavy sleeper or early riser.
