Pros:
-Federico and his family were great hosts. We were late checking in because of a protest blocking the streets and Federico's father was very kind, even though he had to wait over an hour for us. We also had a problem locating the washing machine so I sent an email with an inquiry and Federico knocked on the door a few minutes later to show us where it was.

-Apartment is large and was very comfortable for the three of us.

-Air conditioners worked well and gave relief from hot days.

-Great restaurants in the area. Use Yelp to find them all.

Cons:

-Bathroom was not clean. Shower had what looked like mold in several places and the water backed up in the drain,even during short showers. It made it hard to ever feel clean. We were also confronted with a few cockroaches on our last night there. I know there are bugs everywhere, but it just added to the unclean feeling.

-The hill you walk up is very large and tiring after a long day. If you can make sure to have a taxi take you to the top when you first arrive with luggage.

-It is too far from the main attractions to return in the middle of the day.

-Washing machine is not in the apartment. It is in the hall and shared, so it made it a little difficult for us because we had planned to do a lot of laundry at this point in our trip, and was one of the reasons we chose this apartment. We ended up only being able to do a part of it because we didn't want to leave our clothes in a shared washer overnight and it was being used a couple of the times we tried.
