Gustavo's place could not be located in a better place. You really can walk to the beach, and the mall. In fact, it's right behind the mall. The photos are all pretty accurate. The only issue I had was about the sleeper sofa. It's white/cream, so naturally, it has gotten dirty/dingy. I've already addressed this with Gustavo, and hopefully will be taken care of. It was pretty comfy for being a sofa bed.
Gustavo worked with me to book his place, as my original booking was cancelled by the host last minute. You can tell he really tries his best to ensure you have a great stay at his place. We checked in late at night, and he stayed up as long as he could to make sure we made it inside his home without any problems. He even called the morning after check-in to make sure we made it okay. Just make sure you have check-in and check-out instructions from him in advance to make it all smooth.
The place is really quiet--sometimes too quiet--but, much better than being noisy! Overall, great place and I would totally stay again.
