Beautiful House at Prime Location

The house was beautiful. Exactly as described. It is right near la plaza de la Trinidad, but far away enough where you're not bothered by all the activity at night. Hosts were extremely responsive and offered to assist with planning any touristy activities. Highly recommended.
