We`ve used the apartment basically for sleeping - and for that purpose it`s perfectly fine. Although there is a construction site right across the street, the windows sealed most of the noise. The best thing of all is the location. Close to a lot of local restaurants, cafés and confiterias and well served of public transportation. If you are a good walker, there`s also a lot of places you can go on foot enjoying the stroll in this beautiful city. Didn`t get to meet Federico, but he was always responsive and very flexible about the checkin and checkout. Had a great time! Thanks Federico!
