Huge and beautifully designed luxury apartment exceptionally well appointed and comfortable. Vera was a welcoming and generous host. The photographs do not do justice to the size or elegance of the apartment. The apartment overlooks a residential compound which the neighbours use as their recreational and outdoor living area. There is a supermarket and a food market on the doorstep. The old city is a bit grittier than the new city (north of Teatro Maximo) but it is also closer to some of the main tourist sites and street markets.
