We were three mature ladies looking for a place to settle for our one week vacation in BA. This place was pretty much as reviewed.
Yes - it was LOUD, but not loud every night. We arrived Saturday night - Loud w/lots of partiers and dumpsters and such. Sunday night = crickets. Futbol Game for the World Cup = LOUD. Other nights - not so bad. We thought the location made up for the noise. And the people watching from the terrace would not have been half as much fun without all the city hubbub. I recommend being proactive with your sleep plan - ear plugs, white noise app, etc.
Ladies - this place is owned and operated by a man, so it is a bachelor pad. Which again - we were OK with :).
Oscar R was great to communicate with - excellent English and he responded immediately. And he sent us a bottle of wine when some apartment supplies were delivered. Much appreciated Oscar R!!!
Overall - we loved it! We had fun dressing up the buddha. Loved the people watching and the location is super FUN.
Would stay here again :)
