The place was very nice and the shared living room was amazing. All the snacks and drinks were a very nice touch. Also the area was great because of the local restaurants and markets around the neighborhood. Didnt meet sylvia but met her boyfriend who was very helpful with tips on how to get around. The only thing I would mention to anyone thinking of staying here is that THIS PLACE IS A DORM. There are like 4 or 5 rooms in this apartment all being rented out at once. Although I'm sure everyone that stays here are great people, there were definitely a couple nights where we we didnt sleep due to the bed next door (if you know what I mean). Other than that we had a great time and would recommend as long as you know what you're getting into.
