Had a great stay in Ilana's apartment. The apartment itself is fairly minimal but we had everything we needed for our week-long stay. There was always someone at reception (even in the wee hours of the night) which made us feel comfortable and safe. The staff and Ilana answered our questions in a timely manner when needed and were very accommodating.
The apartment is situated in one of the best neighborhoods in the city- tons of shopping, restaurants, bars and clubs. (also steps away from one of the best pieces of steak at Don Julio's). There is a small grocery store right downstairs which was really convenient.
The construction on the street is definitely a real thing BUT served as a great alarm clock to get your day going :)
