Our stay was perfect. Michael is a great host with a really good vibe.

The area seems safe during day and night and you can find supermarkets, coffee shops and restaurants in the area. About the house, its really clean, the kitchen has anything you need and more, the room is spacious enough with a confortale bed. We think is a fair price to pay for what you get.
