The apartment was really nice, and Valentina was great as a host. The kitchen was equipped with everything you need and there were bottled water and some basic groceries upon arrival. The balcony was small but enough for two people to sit and eat and watch the busy street. Washing machine is available just outside the apartment, but you have to contact Valentina to get it unlocked. The apartment is located almost on top of a steep hill, so you will almost always have to walk uphill to get anywhere. Not a big deal for most, but will be a problem if you are old or have any trouble walking. The area is very busy with a lot of people, and the streets are very narrow. People drive very fast, so you have to be very careful to not get hit by a scooter when you are outside.
