Bárbara's apartment is great for so many reasons!
Here are our intakes about the place:
1. Location - The apartment is located in a super central area in the city and is very close to everything important (20 minutes walk tops).
Being placed on a hill and on the third/fourth floor, getting to the apartment is a small cardio workout but the views...oh the views are breathtaking...imagine yourself taking your morning coffee or evening beer with the entire city speard before you.
However, the area itself is a bit dodgy with people offering marijuana, hashish and cock on street corners. One of the access roads to the apartment is less pleasant with what would seem like many immigrants, empty beer bottles and the smell of urine in the street.
We are both men and have discussed amongst ourselves that this is a small discomfort for such a great value. However, we do think that the experience might be more uncomfterable for women.
2. The place itself - the apartment is a small two bedrooms and no livingroom apartment. The place is very clean and well-orgenized. While the apartment is relatively small, the internal organization and furniture makes it very comfortable.
The apartment has amazing views given its hight with a nice evening breezing flowing throw it.
3. The price - the price we paid was very competitive compared with other places and comprised one of the main reasons we chose the place. We definitely feel we had good value for money for this place.
4. The host - every time we tried to contact Bárbara, she was extremely responsive and always trying to help. Getting to the place was easy and the instructions as to how to open the doors with codes etc were exact and easy.
I would mention that check in is relatively late but you can leave you luggage in the close Roccio station for a very small price.
All and all
Excellent experience which we strongly recommend, take the location into account as both merit and flaw
