Almost great!
Good place to stay. Juan's a terrific host, friendly and instantly responsive. The apartment is mostly very comfortable -- spotlessly clean, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable queen-size bed, very convenient parking, thoughtfully supplied with extra toiletries and cooking supplies. Just a couple of caveats: 1) guests cannot control the thermostat, so if you like the temperature lowered at night, you should let Juan know in advance so he can set it that way; 2) as people who like very hot and high-pressure showers, the shower may be a dealbreaker for us, though others may love it -- it's a light rain shower effect that never gets really steamy hot; and 3) we found the internet often slow and somewhat erratic, though again Juan was great about responding immediately and restarting it when we noted we were having problems, and it's possible that our problems were related to antivirus and VPN programs on my laptop. Good restaurants nearby -- we especially liked La Lanterna -- and the area feels safe and quiet. The apartment was also very quiet -- we never heard any sound at all from overhead. The weather was too cold for us to take advantage of it, but there's an outdoor table in the private side yard that might be pleasant for eating outside on warm days.
