For starters, the apartment itself is beautiful. It is in a great location, gets a lot of light, has a nice outdoor space to relax on. For 4 days the elevator was out of service, but there were a few earthquakes so that could be the reason. That is obviously out of the host's control, but for my wife who is disabled it was an inconvenience. Again, I don't blame Luis for that, he doesn't control the elevator. Some of the things that the listing mentioned as being available weren't there, like an iron, soap, and shampoo, so bring your own.
Now, for the negative, there is a building being constructed on the vacant lot next door. So every day, except Sunday, we would be woken up around 8:30 to our apartment shaking. I mean, things were vibrating inside. We lived in New York city for 10 years, so the street noise, sirens and things like that are fine, it's too be expected in a city. But, it would have been nice to know about the construction as it was just not possible to get any rest while it was going on.
Overall, I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to people, as long as the construction next door was finished.
