The apartment was exactly as shown in the pictures. As we brought our toddler with us, we had to clear the shelves of the books and deco, though ;).

The apartment is well located: we did most of our explorations on foot, but subway and buses are available nearby as well. The neighborhood is clean and quiet, as is the apartment building itself. The elevator is just like in an old Hitchcock movie! Very old fashioned - the doors were operated manually. We saw more than one of these on our trip in different buildings we visited. The area is also full of small grocery shops, cafés, bakeries (medialunas!!!) and even two or three shops in walking distance which sell fresh pasta! The latter is definitely worth a try! Lots of places to eat as well, if one wants to eat out.

We stayed for three weeks over Christmas and our host was very friendly and flexible with our arrival and departure time (thank you, that was very helpful, especially with the little one). There was even a little high chair at the dinner table, even though we hadn't asked for it! :)

The apartment comes with a kitchen and washing machine, which we used frequently due to the high temperatures in December and our extensive playground-sessions with the our child. Oh! There is a plaza with a great playground just across the street!

The air conditioning worked well and we switched between that and the (quite welcome) overhead ceiling fan to keep cool.

The building's portero (porter) is a kind and friendly person who was always ready to help. When we had a problem with a broken water pipe (which could have happened to anybody, really) he was there within minutes to assist and our host came up with a plumber within a couple of hours, which could not have been easy, as it was just a few days before Christmas!

Thank you so much for making this stay so memorable!

We highly recommend this apartment.
