We had let the host know what time we were arriving and they patiently waited for our arrival (even though it was late). We stayed for 5 nights and really enjoyed the apartment and our room. Our room overlooked the street with large windows and a balcony. It was very bright and airy. Even with construction on the street our third and fourth day, the noise wasn't bad at all because the windows were good. The kitchen was great and was always stocked with juice, cereal and bread. There were two full bathrooms which made everything easy with multiple guests. Our host Rafael was amazing, helpful, generous and kind. With the construction the water cut out for a few hours, but Rafael was quick to respond and was able to smooth everything out (water was promptly turned on). The neighborhood is great! It is central, easy to get around, great restaurants etc. We were able to do laundry around the corner (don't buy soap, it's included). There was a neighborhood festival. The apartment has a list for things to do based on how many days you have and we found the suggestions to be very useful. Would definitely recommend!!!
