The place is in a perfect location -- I definitely recommend staying in Gaia away from the crowds. It's still very close to walk or take the metro into the center, and there is a grocery store nearby.

The apartment is nice and the view from the terrace is amazing! I particularly liked that you can open the doors on both ends of the apartment and get a great cross breeze. Only one thing to take note of: there is quite a lot of traffic noise from the street side if you have the door open. It isn't a problem in the bedroom, but if you want to watch TV you may need to turn it up quite a bit :-)

Joel was easy to communicate with and very flexible about our arrival and departure. I recommend it for sure!
