Maite's apartment is very well located and nicely decorated. The beds had nice linens and are very comfortable. The kitchen is useful and has very basic amenities. We did not prepare many meals there so we did not require much but don't plan on preparing full gourmet meals for 8 with the pots and pans provided. We were out most of the day, but the apartment was a bit loud early in the morning and in the late afternoon rush hour. Maite does provide ear plugs for sleeping. There is one inner room which is very quiet if you are a light sleeper. My kids stayed in the larger rooms facing the street and were not bodered much by the noise. The apartment is on the 1st floor so when there is rain, it can be quite loud.
