We spent a twelve-day stint at this handsome 1850's vintage neoclassical apartment located in the Atikki neighborhood. It is as described in the advertisement everything is on the first floor with only two steps to enter even though the picture displays the more picturesque non-accessible second floor balcony. This is not an issue at all. The four bedrooms are clean and neat all featuring high elegantly molded ceiling designs, and complimentary designed tiled floors which would've perfectly endured our pet had he come as originally planned. The air-conditioning seemed new and worked well. The location is great because it is two doors down from a busy street with constant taxies, a bus stop around the block about one or two minutes away, and the metro about three blocks down. The busy street two buildings down also has many convenient bakeries, markets, clothing stores, and small restaurants all within walking distance. The buses (which everyone seems to just jump on for free) are a quick 10-15 minute ride to the national monuments. We used Google Maps to get around
George was an excellent host as he quickly responded to our messages before, during and even after we arrived. He met us at the place and showed us around. He had stocked the refrigerator with fruits and basics like toast, milk, juice, cereal, etc. For a family that knew nothing about the area this helped TREMENDOUSLY the first few days.
We look forward to coming back. This was a great value.
