This apartment is a special find: its design is distinctive and beautiful, it has a refreshingly spacious and open layout, and its location is excellent. Comfortable, serene, and cool (thanks to reliable AC!), the apartment was a perfect retreat from the sun and the city at the height of tourist season. Despite being so close to a major attraction, the streets surrounding the apartment have a more quiet and intimate neighborhood vibe, with a number of charming restaurants and cafes a few steps from your door. Carolina was a responsive host, and her friend who checked us in was especially kind and thoughtful, giving us a thorough introduction to the apartment and offering several local recommendations. I couldn't recommend this apartment more highly!
