The place has everything that you need. Maria Jose left a bus card so we could take trips in the bus. Eventhough is not in the city center the bus stops are about a block away, buses 21, 20 and 2 take you to main places of interest. The host responded very quickly when we ran out of gas for the water heater, she was there within 15 minutes. Our only problem was the noisy in the building, by 7:00am you can't sleep anymore but if you are an early riser that would be your best alarms. There is also a small super market very close and the train station is at walking distance.
