Location is great: plenty of cafes, markets, public transportation.
Apartment building was grand in the past, but now in need of renovation of public areas. The apartment itself has been renovated and is eclectic, tri-level, with A/C and as described. 2 bedrooms with baths are adequate. Kitchen is well supplied with necessary equipment except microwave. Numerous house plants provide vitality .
What should be emphsized are the 3 flights of stairs to the apartment, and the narrow stairs leading to the upper bedroom. Those without agility should reconsider.
Checking in was problematic for us as Gema was on holiday. 1st time checking in, housekeeper Juanita did not hear the door buzzer, so we contacted Gema who contacted Juanita inside the unit. 2nd time checking in (10 days later), despite sending texts about arrival time and updating once we were enroute in the taxi, we waited 45 minutes until Juanita arrived....? by bus on Sunday. Communication difficulties marred otherwise good stay.
