Romana and her son are incredibly kind and welcoming! She was kind enough to let me check-in early which I greatly appreciated after a long day of traveling. Throughout my week there, both Romana and her son were happy to say hello, answer questions, and offer help, but were never intrusive.
Check-in was easy, I was given prior access to a lockbox with a keycard inside. There’s a number of locked doors between the room and outside. It is very safe which I appreciated since I was traveling on my own.
The room itself is absolutely beautiful, it’s filled with beautiful light all day! It has high ceilings, beautiful lights, every modern amenity, a very comfy bed (complete with different pillows for your own preference). It’s very quiet, especially considering it’s near a busier street! There’s a room darkening shade in the bedroom area and light filtering curtains as well to ensure a good night’s rest and privacy. The suite is the perfect size for one to two people (there is enough closet space for two). Also the A/C is very quiet and easy to adjust.
The terrace in Romana’s place is so nice to have meals, to chill, etc. The kitchen is beautiful, very clean and organized. There are bins for your food (labeled with suite number) in the fridge as well as in a cubby for pantry items.
The location is fantastic, there are two metro stations nearby (Alameda and Arrois) and the one goes to the airport (Alameda) is a little less than 10 minutes walking, which is very convenient. Bus lines are right outside the building as well. There’s many restaurants, cafés, a pharmacy, corner stores, grocery stores, and a laundromat nearby, as well as a large beautiful park with a big fountain. It’s very easy to walk around and I always felt safe.
Take note that Romana’s is on the first floor (one floor above the street). So you are well above street level, especially due to high ceilings.
I was very happy and at peace here. I would absolutely stay here again in a heartbeat, I would recommend it highly to anyone I know!
