Jose is a very welcoming host. The accommodation is very comfortable and I easily felt at home. It is located north of the city center but bus 3 runs regularly (which goes to Plaza del Armas and major tourist sites) so you will be in the city center in no time. I only spoke a bit of Spanish but with the help of Google Translate I could still communicate with Jose. If you want to practice your Spanish, Jose is a good sparring partner.
