The apartment was smaller and less inviting than expected from the description and photos with perhaps our most important issue being a shower that offered 5 minutes of warm water at best. The apartment is centrally located and within walking distance (for active walkers) to desirable tourist areas -- but there is major construction being done on almost adjacent buildings and that may be true for some time to come. Carolina seems to be a conscientious and honorable hostess (She mistakenly told us that street parking was free on weekends and when we got a parking ticket offered to pay it,) but we felt that her enthusiasm for her property often resulted in an unrealistic view of what she was offering.
