The place was in a great location. We had no need to drive anywhere. Great restaurants and shops all within walking distance. The only thing that could make this perfect would be to add air conditioning. Coming from the states we are used to always having a/c. It was a bit warm so we had to have the windows open while we where at the apartment. The downside to having the doors and windows open is that we were bitten by mosquitos and the noise kept us up because of the festivals they were having. If you are used to having air conditioning this is not for you. Other than that everything was great.
