Excellent communication and check-in was easy and convenient. I arrived much earlier than the check-in time, but Maria let me drop off my bag while I explored. The apartment is well-equipped with basic items needed to cook as well as basic toiletries. The location can't be beat. It's close to all the historic sites, a 5 min walk from two small grocery stores, and the neighborhood has many restaurants. Because the entry door leads right to the street, it can get a bit noisy as there was construction going on in a nearby building during my stay, but personally, it wasn't too disruptive for me. Highly recommend this place!
