Silvia met us at the apartment, which is very cute and was just the right size for me and my two children. The location is unbeatable- one short block from the subway and very quiet (it's on the 7th floor), very safe, friendly, with a bakery kitty corner and a fruit shop across the street. All the beds were comfy. The apartment is a bit smaller than you would imagine from the photos but that's pretty standard I suppose. It was a nice place to be, in general. However, our visit was cut short by a technical glitch: we came home one afternoon and the electricity had been cut and the kitchen was flooded because the water heater was spewing water everywhere. We were about 30 minutes from sundown, and as Silvia was unreachable (she left on vacation right after she handed us the keys and was away from cell reception; she responded later that night), I packed us up and we left the apartment. Fortunately Silvia refunded our payment, which was appropriate, and she is buying a new water heater for the apartment, which will hopefully prevent this from happening again. This is an airbnb situation where the kindness of the hostess made up, over time, for severe technical problems which caused us to reorganize our entire trip. Hopefully these technical issues will be resolved quickly and future guests can just enjoy the apartment and the very nice hosts.
