Great host communication, location and interior design; LOUD tram noise.
Great HOST: Quick answers to emails, and answered the phone quickly when the power went out.
Great location, on 4 Tram lines just outside the door, nice neighborhood and park. However, that comes with a caveat. The trams are LOUD! First time I heard them, I thought a freight train was coming though the apartment. They come every few minutes from 5am until after midnight. They made an afternoon “riposa” (nap) difficult. Although the weather was sunny and pleasant- the outdoor garden could not be enjoyed. Be aware of this.
Excellent interior design, though form over function in the rule in the kitchen. The dishes are kept in a cabinet next to the sleeper sofa in an adjacent room. The place is very pretty; just don’t plan on any serious cooking (few utensils and pans). Very little light in the kitchen/dining area. Light in the bedroom and bathrooms is excellent.
Sofa is very comfortable. The Smart TV allows access to your Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc accounts.
The bed is firm (which I like), and the linens and pillows are heaven. Great night's sleep once the trams stopped. Bathrooms are all marble; beautiful and functional.
The doorman, Antonio, is super nice. Does not speak English, but we managed to get by just fine.
The host and design are awesome. The thing not in her control, but affects the stay, is the noise from the trams .
