The apartment was absolutely beautiful. It had everything we could have needed to actually live there, let alone for our short stay. It was appointed in a way that was interesting and aesthetically pleasing, yet comfortable as well. The location was such that we were able to walk anywhere we wanted to go, day or night. The neighborhood is an active one at night, but we knew that when we chose it. For this reason, the occasional noise didn't bother us at all. We were shown how to use the heavy shutters on the windows, and that kept the noise and light out enough that we slept very well. I only wish I could stay in an apartment this comfortable wherever I travel.
