Carlos was a great host. Although the original apartment was double booked, he took us to an alternative, close by... It was very different from what we wanted however its beautifull garden won us over. He helped us move into the original place we booked a couple of days latetr, and was kind to pay for our taxi since we had lots of luggage. The appartment was pretty disapointing. It was missing a few things such as a ac remotes, dish clothes, duvet cover, a working kettle would have been nice as well as a few bits such as salt, pepper, sugar maybe some coffee and filters for the coffe machine just to get us started. Also very hard to cook since there is a poor selection of cooking utensils (no wooden spoons) and no oven. The neighbourhood is super loud, kids screaming in the park and homeless people living in some kind of garage playing loud music till late in the front and loud neighbours and babies crying early morning in the back... It definitely has potential but needs TLC.
