Ale is extremely responsive; from our intitial request to following up after our departure, she never dropped the ball. Minor issues were addressed immediately, and Senora Philippe keeps things immaculate.
The apartment meets or exceeds every expectation one would have from the listing; the host's personality as a graduate of Harvard's school of Architecture is apparent in every detail, from the deceivingly simple minimalist decor to the fresh orchids. Anyone who appreciates design will recognize how successfully Ale has updated the home to modern standards while preserving the mid-century character and aesthetic. One will want to make friends just so you can invite them to dinner and impress them.
It is difficult to exaggerate the appeal of the location; having traveled extensively in Latin America and Europe, I can honestly say that I've never seen a more beautiful, safe or appealing neighborhood in this or any other part of the world.
