Pros:
- Beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL apartment. It’s a tiny room - but you wouldn’t know that with how brilliantly it’s laid out. It feels huge, even for two people! The hosts did a really, really good job in the design of this room.
- Location! Right in the center of it all, but not on a noisy street. It’s the same block that the Presidential palace is on, so things are quieter and safer than other parts of town.
- Amenities galore. Jacuzzi tub, full kitchen, snacks/breakfast, butter/jams in the fridge, additional blankets/towels/soaps, candles. Even tour guide books! ;) It has it all.
Cons:
- The bed is uncomfortable. My wife found herself more comfortable on the couch because of how stiff the bed was. I didn’t mind, but you might find a bit of discomfort as well.
- I’m surprised I didn’t see any other reviews about this, but the apartment seems to be built right above a subway tunnel. During the day, trains rumble beneath every 2-5 minutes. At night, it’s much less frequent. It’s not loud - but it’s certainly a noticeable sound. We were worried about the sound at first before we realized what it was - so I wanted future guests to be aware. It’s not an earthquake, I promise. :)
Bottom line:
- If this spot is available, you should absolutely book it. We would stay here again if the opportunity presents itself. Regardless of the 2 cons above, I still give this a 5/5 without hesitation.
