Luis Eduardo was fantastic in terms of his availability, kindness, and warm personality. He quickly and pleasantly responded to our requests for neighborhood restaurant recommendations and washer/dryer instructions. The apartment itself is very comfortable with an efficient arrangement, two nice bathrooms, and a pleasant living room area. We did not use the front bedroom at all and am not sure that we would have liked it as it is separated from the courtyard only by a floor to ceiling plexiglass/glass type wall. Also, the style of the building with its inner courtyard allows for sound to travel especially well. Dogs barking, children playing, cleaning staff singing, etc. all sound like they’re in your living room.
Luis Eduardo has provided a large supply of toiletries, paper products, cleaning supplies, and towels. The kitchen supplies were adequate although a few wine glasses and a good coffee maker would be nice additions.
The location of the apartment is perfect (great restaurants, parks, shopping, all that you’d want within a few blocks) . It is unfortunate that the block is currently undergoing almost complete renovation. There is construction and its accompanying noise on almost every lot on the block. It gives the block, which is in a lovely neighborhood, a rather desolate look and feel. It is this one block only so in a few months I’m confident that it will be restored to the same peacefulness that one finds on surrounding blocks.
In general, we were happy with our stay and might stay again when the construction projects are completed. Luis Eduardo was a wonderful host!
