This apartment is perfectly located right in the heart of the Barrio Italia neighborhood. My husband and I loved being able to walk out of the building and immediately begin strolling among all the great restaurants and shops of the district.
Cristóbal was a wonderful host. We made the reservation the night before, and I was delighted when he answered right away. in a few minutes, my reservation was confirmed. He graciously accommodated our request to drop off our luggage ahead of check in time. We saw the cleaning crew tidying up, and a few hours later when we returned, the apartment was beautifully clean.
The Sky Hostel has a lovely balcony with a stunning view, just like the photos. The bedroom has a large, very comfortable bed and the only TV in the apartment. The en suite bathroom is very nice, with a big shower that has a small step up to get in. Towels and sheets all provided.
The kitchen is very small and not well lit, i wouldn't recommend doing a lot of cooking in it (but who would want to with many of the city's best restaurants just a block away?)
The only part of the apartment that is a bit unexpected is the "living room." There are four stools and a tall but very small round table, but no couch or proper chairs, although there were two bean bags. it wasn't a problem for us but any visitor who has trouble getting up onto a tall stool or down into a bean bag would have nowhere to sit.
Cristóbal was a wonderful host! He gave us recommendations for places to eat and was accessible via text at all hours. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone wanting to stay in Barrio Italia.
