Marcia was very communicative prior to our arrival. She was unable to meet us, bet had a friend/colleague meet us at the door and show us inside and help with our bags. The apartment is in a beautiful historic building with modern design features and appliances, with a beautiful indoor courtyard. It is on the 2nd floor. It included everything you could need including a water cooler, and whatever you may need for cooking (though we only ate out).
As others noted, the sounds from the street were loud (this is coming from city dwellers used to background noise). We just made sure to open the windows to cool off the place before bed and then shut the windows when it was time to sleep--they had great sound insulation. There was also a room fan to help cool off at night.
Cons: no tv, street noise, no AC
Pros: included her own guide as well as some guide books, a good stereo system, great wifi, and other little amenities (shampoo, hairdryer, etc). Felt safe in the neighborhood and the building (key card, security guard).
Overall we loved our stay and would certainly stay with Marcia again in the future!!
