Location of the apartment is very good. It is situated within easy walks to all the centro historico museums and attractions. In the evening the area turns into a very hip young bar scene, lots of cool little hang outs. We spent six nights and only had one noisy night, which was from another tenant. Otherwise street noise was minimal, so you can get good rest after all the touring around town. The host has provided comfortable beds, as well. There is just enough cookware to prepare some small meals, if you wish. There is a microwave to warm up your leftovers from all the awesome restaurants. Livia speaks perfect english and the onsite host spoke spanish. Overall we were happy with our stay and didn't have any major issues.
