The apartment was just as pictured. Good setup for six 50+ year old women to stay. We each had our own bed, and 3 bathrooms to share worked well. Two of the bedrooms were separated with curtains...so consider where you put people if you have one that snores. One night we hired a chef (who Clara helped us find) to come in and prepare dinner. It was nice to stay in one night and just enjoy each other and rest. The area the apartment was located seemed safe, very lively, and for us (who are walkers) it was convenient to sites, many restaurants, the subway, and markets. It was also pretty easy to catch a taxi.
The apartment was comfortable, but I'm not sure at my age if I could stay during the very warm months without air-conditioning, but I prefer spring and fall trips anyway.
Communication with Clara was easy. She speaks English well and will help you in any way she can.
