The apartment was lovely, exactly what a family of five needed. It has all the accoutrement one needs and nothing extra. This was key because normally places have lots of small decorative crafts that children love to play with (and then break). This apartment was simply and appropriately decorated. Even though it was hot outside, inside the apartment thanks to the cross breeze, it was cool and pleasant. The two bathrooms are small, but efficient. Hot water is plentiful and pressure is great. The streets are very quiet so sleep comes peacefully. The apartment complex exterior is a bit rough, but inside the apartment it is extremely clean, very light and airy. Nearby restaurants are good (highly recommend Hong Kong restaurant around corner). Tourist part of city is a 15-20 walk.
Mafalda and her mother treat their customers exceptionally, like a five star hotel. We had a few special requests they met with ease. We enjoyed our stay and will be back.
