We had a brilliant time at this apartment, which makes excellent use of space and provided everything we needed (parents and two young adult children) for our five night stay. It has been expertly renovated. We particularly appreciated the many windows and skylights that provided wonderful views but also airflow (it was a very warm December), as well as the two balconies. The beds were comfortable, the towels and linen of good quality, and the kitchen and laundry were well equipped.
The neighbourhood is fascinating - rapidly developing but still with many decaying buildings and blocks. It is much more authentic than the more tourist parts of town but feels safe and friendly. It was accessible for most sights and we walked almost everywhere. On a few occasions we took cabs which were very reasonably priced.
The apartment is on the 5th floor up steep steps and wouldn't be great for people with limited mobility or small kids, but the view across the rooftops is worth the climb.
Communication was great. Manuel welcomed us and responded within minutes to our messages. He gave us some good local recommendations and even marked the locations on our phones. He responded within moments to the few questions we needed to ask.
I would heartily recommend this apartment.
