We were very happy with the apartment, where we spent five nights in January. Juan Carlos welcomed us there late in the evening of our arrival, and then it was Tom who was the consummate host for the duration of our visit. He gave great advice and frequently checked in to see how we were doing and to offer further tips about this wonderful city.

The neighborhood is great for a home base. It's very walkable, and there are many little restaurants in the area. We got a local SIM card and cell service upon arrival and zipped around using Uber with no difficulty.

We were in the ground-floor apartment, which is a perfect choice for anyone who doesn't like stairs. (The upper-floor apartments have more light but are smaller, per Tom.) The apartment was roomy and fully furnished. Unfortunately we were there during a cold snap, so we didn't have occasion to use the delightful rooftop terrace. Pity!

Thank you, Tom, for a wonderful stay.
