Great location

Pros: Great location, close to everything but still quiet enough to have a decent sleep! Staff were very friendly showing us through the place.

Nice stay overall, but missing some essentials

Pros: The location was perfect — close to everything and easy to reach. The apartment was very clean, and the view from the window was beautiful, especially in the morning. Overall, it felt tidy and well-maintained, which made our stay comfortable.

Cons: Unfortunately, there were some small but annoying issues. The hairdryer turned off after only two minutes and was of very poor quality. The kitchen didn’t have any basic items like oil, salt, or pepper, and the nonstick pan was full of scratches, which made cooking difficult. Also, there was no air conditioning, which made the room a bit uncomfortable at night.

So much fun.

Pros: The apartment is great: cozy, clean, modern, and equipped with everything we needed. The location is perfect: charming and walking distance to everything.

Cons: The living area was a just a tiny bit cramped for 4 adults to stretch out our legs after walking up so many hills!

Lovely apartment, fabulous few days away!

Pros: The apartment was just the ticket, clean, well proportioned, perfect. Pedro the apartment manager was fab. He met us at the apartment, showed us around and gave us some top tips of where to visit. All major sites within walking distance. Anything further afield, uber taxis are cheap! For the more adventurous, electric scooters are everywhere to rent (lime).

Absolutely amazing!

Pros: Our host Pedro was amazing! He stayed in touch with me prior to arrival to make sure he met us there to give us keys and information. He was so gracious and sent us recommendations for restaurants, gave us some history of the area and explained where things were from our apt. We went to the little restaurant one block uphill that he recommended and had the best roast of our lives! The balcony and view is gorgeous and the accomodations are beautiful. We couldn't get wifi to work but who cares, we aren't sitting in unit hardly at all!

Cons: One person had a fit that she couldn't get wifi. Pedro had warned us that there were different connections in building for each unit and sometimes it is spotty.
