Great apartment with beautiful view. Our only complaint is that we wished we had booked it longer, unfortunately our flight was delayed and we missed a day in BA. Ruy was very nice about meeting us at the apartment and instructing us on all the keys. He is very knowledgeable of the area and speaks perfect English. He even had maps and books regarding BA in the room, it felt just like a hotel stay. We found no problems with the neighborhood, only a short walk to the downtown and shopping. Overall, great for the price.
