First of all it is fair to say that Andiara is a great host. She even provided us a bathtub and soap for our baby. Thanks for that!
As for the apartments:
Pros: Good location, building with security.
Cons: Severals... the building is quite old, it smells like old... Eventhough the apt has been renovated, it is not in very good conditions, it also smells like humidity, the paint is not very good, the furniture as well.. Curtains and blinds are broken... Bathroom is ok except that it is tiny... But shower is bad: low pressure and cold water.. Worst of all, the apt wasn´t clean at all when we arrived.. My wife had to reclean it herself... (this could never happened in a hotel room).
Conclusions: i think it is overrated.. I wouldn´t come back.
