The loft is located in a compound of apartments that surround a main courtyard. Although it's very close to a main street, it's very quiet because it's tucked off into a corner of the courtyard. We arrived quite late due a a flight change and Ma. Isabel greeted us warmly. She was very eager to make us feel welcome and even ran downstairs to bring us up several water bottle when we realized the garafone was empty. The loft is up a steep flight of metal stairs and has a nice kitchen with a good supply of dishes and cooking utensils and pots, and nice bathroom. The water was hot as promised. As the pictures show, the bed is up in a loft and the stairs are quite steep but manageable. In the morning, we walked across the street to the Taqueria, which is a nice bright restaurant, and had the buffet, which was good. There's also a small Brazilian cafeteria just to the right of the gate to the compound which looked interesting.
