The studio apartment overlooks a quieter tree-lined cobblestoned street. The double-paned windows block out most of the street noise you would expect from any city. The studio was the perfect size for a couple. We would book again.
We loved the outdoor pool and had it to ourselves in the morning. The indoor pool was undergoing maintenance during our stay, and will be ready by the end of January. The neighborhood has a nice mix of restaurants, cafes, and bars, and is quiet on Saturday and Sunday mornings in the summer. It is about a 25-minute walk to the “Rosedal” rose garden, which is connected to a series of other large parks.
Graciela is one of the best hosts I’ve had. She gave us a tour of the apartment and building, and she had also stocked the fridge with bread and other items. She was readily available to answer questions about the city. Her English is excellent. I recommend booking a session with Elías, the massage therapist she recommends, if you need a deep-tissue massage.
