I wanted to take my time to write a thorough review, because my stay was just that amazing! My stay lasted 8 nights, so I had the change to really enjoy everything. There are many points I want to highlight:
-The hosts were GREAT! They were very responsive, provided clear instructions for everything, and even came to my help when I could not find the universal adapter/plug I brought. They quickly had one dropped off at the building for me. That is just one example of how well they treated me.
-The space was exactly as expected. The pictures do it justice, and it was a relief that everything was as described. The building had friendly attendants 24hrs, and they quickly started to recognize me as I would go out to visit the area (more on that later). The pool and lounge area in the back of the building were great to frequent. I’d sit there and read and enjoy the nice breeze.
-The amenities were exactly what I needed, in the apartment. The bed was so comfy, as well as the memory foam pillows that helped me get a good night sleep (I struggle with back pain, so it was really helpful). The internet connection was great! The fridge kept my water, leftovers, treats at a nice temperature. Speaking of temperature, one of my favorite feature of the apartment was the really hot shower and great water pressure. Soooo nice to enjoy a nice hot shower after a day of exploring or after dancing the night away. Let’s not forget the amazing light that the apartment receives from the sun and large sliding windows. I caught sunrises and sunsets on the balcony, ate empanadas from across the street while sitting on the balcony… Okay the balcony was also one of my favorite parts of the apartment :)
-I mentioned the empanadas across the street, and I wanted to talk about the neighborhood. Easily accessible, great location at the corner of a major bus line, lots of restaurants and stores at walking distance, and easily accessible if getting takeout delivered. I would walk to King Coffee for a cafe con leche y medialunas, another fantastic way to start the day. If you go there, tell Ernesto that Myriam says hi :)
This was one of the best trips I have ever taken, and it is in large part thanks to this lovely apartment and the hosts. I was actually sad to leave, because it was perfectly what I needed for my travels. It provided me with the access to the city, to food, to transportation (I could hail a cab within 5 min right in front of the building, and the bus stop is right around the corner), beautiful views of the city since the apartment is on the 11th floor, as well as a quiet and comfortable place when I wanted to keep a low profile. I loved everything about it, and when I return, I will definitely seek them out to book the space again. Gracias poro todo! Ciao!
