The location was great: very central, but on a quieter side street. You could hear a bit of the hustle and bustle but not much. Several very good restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. The apartment itself was fine. Minimal furniture, but enough. Good kitchen. Many large windows to provide lots of air and sun when wanted but with blackout curtains for sleeping. Steps up to the apartment are a little narrow and steep, perhaps not great for wobbly kids or elderly, but fine for us. But the very best part: Duarte. I messed up our reservation and accidentally booked our check-out one day early. Duarte arrived to check on the apartment and make sure it was ready for the next guest, and was suprised to see us still there! We were a bit panicked, but Duarte went above and beyond to help. He called several contacts with other Airbnb properties to see if they had vacancies (they did not). He then walked to one hotel near the apartment and checked with them. Also, no vacancy. He checked with a second hotel, and they had one room left. He had them hold it for us. We packed our bags and walked half a block and checked into the hotel and were able to finish out our stay in the neighborhood without stress. He was a real lifesaver when he wasn't obligated to help at all! All in all, a wonderful stay in a great neighborhood, with a great owner.
