The apartment is exactly as displayed and well equipped. The view was very pleasant. This is a 'hotel' type situation with a front desk that can check people in and out and reservations go through a central system. Since our host forgot to book our reservation, it was not in the system and he also was not available, so it took over an hour to get checked in. The woman at the front desk, though, was really GREAT and kept working at finding a solution and trying to reach out host. It would be good to be clear about the parking, since that's an extra charge and we did find a car was pretty necessary, given the busy roads and strip malls surrounding the property. We did hear from our host as we were checking out and he gave us a gift certificate on a future stay to help alleviate the challenges when we checked in. Thanks Ricardo!
