This place is in a great neighborhood that is pretty low-key and not touristy, which is why we chose it. It is really easy to get around by walking or Uber. Thomas left a great book of recommendations for coffee shops, restaurants and shopping in the area that was really helpful. The place itself is small but perfect for a solo traveler or a couple. It is inside a protected, gated building that seems to have a lot of families. It seemed really safe. Also, the value is a great deal for what you get and you don't have to pay higher prices for being in a hip neighborhood - there's no need here! Thomas was a fantastic communicator and answered all of our questions in real time. He also waited for us to arrive after our flight was delayed, and we really appreciated that he waited to greet us.
A few downsides: the building has a street-facing facade, and once you enter through the locked door, there is a courtyard with apartments on either side. So the unit faces the courtyard and the other apartments. For some reason the courtyard area has a really bright light on all the time, so the nighttime feels like 5pm. Between the light and the heavy partying noise we heard, I would recommend earplugs and a sleeping mask (we brought both) to sleep well. There was sometimes a whiff of the sewage that would waft into the unit, but I think that is par for the course living in an urban area.
The place was really clean but there were a few cleanliness issues (some of the dishes in the kitchen were not clean and there wasn't enough dish soap; the shower could have been cleaner). But all that said, the value of this place is worth it and we had a really comfortable stay!
