Very lovely apartment. Much larger than any hotel room! And, the apartment has two AC units - an absolute must for travel in August. Perfect location. Central to the major attractions, main squares, and the metro. It was also nice being close to the river, which made for pleasant evening strolls (there is a jazz club by the river that was a lot of fun). Note, however, that the shower head is not mounted to the wall, which may be inconvenient for certain travelers. And, the steps to the apartment are very narrow, which may be difficult for older travelers or travelers with mobility issues.
