We spent the month of January in this apartment and enjoyed spectacular hospitality from Maria. We needed a few extra utensils for cooking and she was right on it. Instant response. It is spotlessly clean. It has an elevator. There are noisy bars and restaurants nearby but we hardly ever heard them at night. No problem sleeping. And there are numerous buses and the Metro nearby to speed you to every important site. It is a very modern apartment but situated in an antique area with interesting little restaurants etc. It struck us as very safe. Cozy.
