We stayed in Dulce's apartment for few days during 2014 World Cup. Price was a little on the high side, but it worth every penny! The location couldn't be better. Everything is within a reach: metro, beach, lots of restaurants and shops. We all felt very safe, even walking late night. The apartment is located on the top floor with the huge private patio and nice views. Dulce is very good host. I definitely recommend this place. No hot water on the kitchen was not a problem for me: why would you want to cook when there are so many good restaurants around.
Absolutely loved our stay!!!
