Carla's place is in a great location, near the main avenue and some good restaurants and shops. Carla's husband welcomed us and was really great. He gave us excellent restaurant recommendations and even parked our car when we couldn't fit it in the right garage!!
While I recommend it, I would say that the apartment could use some small touches. The bathroom upstairs looked like it hadn't been swept--hairdls, dust, etc. The one hair dryer didn't work (it started to smoke as soon as I turned it on), and the other barely worked. Of course Carla offered to bring a new hair dryer but I didn't really need it. I'm sure it has already been replaced. The kitchen doesn't really have enough tools, pots, plates, etc. to actually cook a meal. The hot water heater is also a bit weird and with four people we had to scatter our shower times.
All in all a great stay in a nice apartment that could just use some updates! :)
