This apartment was sparkly clean and in a great location. The pictures are accurate. We were not aware that there was not a sitting area except for out in the courtyard but we did not look at pictures thoroughly enough. I think this apartment would be great for families w/kids and travelers in their 20's and 30's. The layout was a little difficult for our group, which included some older guests as all of the bedrooms are connected. Roberto was very responsive and we had a great visit!
