We really enjoyed our stay at Marlene's place as it was the ideal base to explore BA. Check-in was easy and with her friend Luis, who was helpful and showed us around. The location is in the heart of BA and has peaceful moments, however if you're a light sleeper bring earplugs as the traffic can be noisy at night.
The apartment is a cute and clean little studio. The bed was comfortable and large, the kitchen had all the listed amenities and the WiFi was good. The bathroom was very clean and towels were provided. The air con here was a godsend as BA was absolutely sweltering when we visited, so it was great to chill in a cool apartment. The smart tv was also a nice surprise on those evenings we didn't feel like going out.
Marlene is also a great host, giving clear instructions and regular communications. I would recommend and I would visit again! Thank you!
