Our group needed a safe, budget-friendly, comfortable home in a central location. We got exactly what we expected for a great price. The location is perfect. You don't have a view, but you are two blocks from the beach and every type of store you need is within walking distance. It's also easy to get transportation, which was important to us because we were always on the go.
The apartment matches the images exactly. It's simple, but it has everything you need. We resolved a hot water issue in the main shower. Although we still didn't have a lot of control over the water temp, it was warm enough. The stove was a little tricky to use, but we got it to work.
We were so busy with classes that we didn't take advantage of Igor's hospitality. He is super responsive and always available to help. I'm sure any of the small issues I mentioned could have been 100% resolved if we chatted with Igor more. The apartment was in good shape.
It's extremely safe with 24/7 doormen, a huge plus.
