This loft apartment in a small three storey modern building is ideally located on the main block of the very bohemian chic neighbourhood of las Cañitas. Within a block are the four best restaurants, three great artesanal beer bars, a Cuban music bar, grocery stores, laundry services, banks, several gyms. It is a quiet neighbourhood in the daytime and full of life in the evening. The only downside to the vibrancy is that directly behind the apartment is a kind of community hall that has taken to renting out its space to large gatherings on Weekends and they can be quite raucous till about 3 in the morning, so expect that.
The hosts are wonderful and are quick to respond to questions and to address any issues that may arise during your stay.
The building itself is very secure and has about ten or so apartments, a common wading pool on the roof, a deck and a nice parrilla for barbecuing. The neighbours are all very nice people and the maintenance man takes good care of the building. The only downside to the building is that the wooden deck around the pool and parrilla is in serious disrepair - most of the screws are sticking up and many of the boards are broken or warped - so tread carefully.
The apartment itself is clean, simple and modern, though it is due for a little basic maintenance; the two air conditioning units work but drip a lot of water and require servicing. The bed linens are on their last legs and need to be replaced, there are a few other minor maintenance issues that require attention.
So, overall, I really like the place and have stayed here three times for several months at a time. With a little TLC this place would be glorious , but nonetheless, it is still one of my favourite places to stay in the city.
