This is a beautiful little apartment in a lively neighborhood. There are great bars and restaurants just steps from the door and it's a short walk to the subway and taxi stand. I appreciated the washing machine and air conditioning, both of which made my 2-week stay much more comfortable. Carla was an excellent and communicative host, answering all of my questions almost immediately. The ceilings are quite low in places, requiring some bending to move around at times, but I didn't find it to be a big deal. And, of course, the neighborhood is noisy at night, but with earplugs it didn't bother me at all. Overall an excellent experience.
