I had a wonderful stay at Brad's apartment which is very conveniently located only a 10 minute walk to the heart of the city, and 20 minutes from the train station. Everything was exactly as described, the bed was extremely comfortable, the air conditioning worked fine (although I didn't need it on for prolonged periods), and the welcoming platter of fruit in my room was a lovely touch. Some of the reviews have mentioned street noise but if you come prepared with an open mind and a willingness to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this beautiful city, then you won't experience any surprises. Brad is warm and welcoming, and makes sure you have everything you need to make your stay comfortable (earplugs were thoughtfully provided in my room) - he really is the host with the most!
