We enjoyed a lovely 5-day stay at Alex, Javi, and Pilar's apartment. Check in was a breeze. Pilar was there right on time to meet us as we arrived. She was also there right on time to check us out the day we left. Her orientation to the apartment and to the city (our first visit) was so very helpful. The apartment was in great condition (clean, well appointed; everything worked great) and the beds were very comfortable. The centralized A/C and WiFi worked very well. We appreciated having a washer AND dryer in the unit. When we returned from our adventures at night, it was nice to have an outside locked door, an elevator to take us up to the 1st floor, and a locked inside door to help provide those extra touches of comfort and security. As a result, we always felt safe in the apartment. Street noise is present in varying degrees but it didn't present a problem. The window in the bedroom on the street side is equipped with a heavy metal cover that can be lowered at night. This reduces the noise and also creates a very dark room which is nice for morning sleepers. The grocery store just around the corner from the apartment is well-stocked and even had coffee pods for the coffee maker. The apartment is very convenient to Bus 24 (2 minute walk) and two 2 major metro stations - each around 6-8 minutes away. So convenient! All in all, we had a great stay and highly recommend it!
