This apartment was very small and was in a very loud part of town. We are not partiers and there was noise of screaming, loud music, and breaking glass right outside the windows until after 4am. We had to be up at 8am for a tour. We decided to change accommodations after that first night. There was nothing else wrong with the place- it was cute and clean- but if you are a light sleeper I would definitely look elsewhere. My fiancé and I both wore earplugs and had our phones running white noise and it still sounded as if a party was happening right inside our room. I took recordings because it was simply unreal. The next morning there was evidence of broken glass, vomit, and urine in the streets. If you want peace and quiet on your vacation, Barrio Alto is not the place for you. Again I want to stress- there was nothing wrong with the host or apartment, it was just not to our taste. Our new apartment is on a residential street and is very peaceful for sleeping. Definitely my fault for not researching the area more. So in conclusion, nice place for young travelers or those who enjoy the nightlife. If you value your sleep on vacation, look elsewhere!
