Martin's home is as pictured! It's updated, comfortable, roomy enough for two, with many nearby conveniences. Enjoy a cup of coffee on the cozy patio in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening. Be sure to get daily fresh fruit from the corner market across on Guatemala or small staple items across Malabia.
We found walking or taxis to be our mode for travel and both were easy to do. The location is well known to taxis and we were able to get to some locations by foot - such as the famous Don Julio's and wonderful gelato, as well as the Evita Museum. TIP: If you don't speak Spanish and are taking taxis to your destinations, write out the address (street first, then number) to hand to your driver. This will ease communication for both parties.
Creature comforts matter during a week long stay - and Martin's home has them. The bathroom has great counter space for two and wonderful water pressure from the shower head. The bed was comfortable and we enjoyed having the fan overhead to cool and to create a bit of white noise. Amply equipped, the kitchen was all we needed as most meals were taken away. But it seemed well stocked to do some light cooking. Seating is everywhere - stools, chairs, and futon with level space to eat, place your laptop, or store travel gear. Outlets are in abundance. The building caretakers are very friendly and make you feel comfortable as a guest. And even small things are in place, such as hooks to store the keys when not in use.
