The apartment was cute and felt safe as there are 4 separate locked doors one must enter before getting inside. Federico met us downstairs and proceeded to show us around the place. He had a binder with maps of the neighborhood, outlining where restaurants and coffee bars were nearby, as well as the best route to take to the historic center. That was super helpful and much appreciated. He was also very communicative, always responding to my messages in a timely manner.

Our major concern regarding our stay was that the smell was impossible to ignore. No amount of airing out the apartment by opening the windows reduced the odor of mold and mildew. There must be an issue with the pipes as both the drain in the kitchen sink as well as the entire bathroom emanated a very strong and almost suffocating smell.

Be sure to bring your earplugs as construction next door starts bright and early, and the A/C unit clicks, groans, and vibrates every 10 seconds or so, even when it is turned off.

I think we would have enjoyed our stay much more if the plumbing situation were not an issue. And if Federico gets it taken care of then I won't mind recommending the apartment.
