eva and bernardo's place is a dream! it's as charming as can be, just a block away from panaderia rosetta and tons of other great restaurants and coffee shops, and offers everything you could want for a solo stay (or a couple!). though the spiral staircase is a bit unwieldy, i got used to it after a day, and felt rather like a fairytale heroine going up and down it each day.
eva and the women at her shop were incredibly kind, and even allowed me to store my large suitcase there while i traveled for a few days to san miguel de allende. so helpful!
note: the apartment doesn't get a lot of natural light, due to its placement on a tree-lined street. if you plan to spend a lot of time inside, this might get to you - but who wants to stay inside in roma norte?! i knew that going in, and so wasn't surprised by the darkness :)
either way, i'd highly recommend the apartment for anyone who wants to be in the perfect spot in roma norte.
