I never saw or heard from Rodrigo, even when I emailed him 3 times so I was a little concerned that things would not go well. I was wrong. There was someone there to give us the key and someone to receive the key when we left. The descriptions of the apartment are accurate. The slider that does not lock is not an issue as it opens onto the balcony. The location is great and we did enjoy having the breakfast spot right downstairs. It would have been nice to have personal recommendations for other local spots to visit. There is kind of a funky smell at the entrance to the apartment. I think it may be from the restaurants below. The one thing that potential visitors must know is that the walls are not sound proof. The neighbors to the right were very noisy. Loud music or TV noise until 2 AM on Friday night (at which point my son went next door and asked them to please turn the music down) and 5 AM another. They were quiet on Sunday night so maybe it's just a weekend thing.
This is a great place to stay during the week and if you're a party animal you'll enjoy it on the weekend as well.
