Our group of six was greeted at the apartment by Isabel, Magda's daughter, who provided an orientation to the unit and the neighborhood. The apartment is in a great location, close to restaurants, shops, and the major sites of the city. The neighborhood is vibrant and busy long into the night, which creates noise issues for the front bedrooms. Ear plugs are a good idea for occupants of those rooms.
The apartment is funky but fun with a tiny elevator able to accommodate only two people at a time and a beautiful balcony for morning coffee.
However we do have some significant complaints from our stay. In our opinion it is absurd to not have basic items such as toilet paper, soap, shampoo and bathroom trash containers available as part of the rental. Forcing travelers to go out and shop for these items instead of enjoying the city is an unnecessary distraction that is easily avoided. We were also required to make up our own beds at the beginning of our stay. The water heater was inadequate for us to shower concurrently and we ran out of hot water. The inside of the refrigerator was also frozen and iced over.
Additionally, the couple that stayed in the large front bedroom felt that their rooms had not been thoroughly cleaned. They found hair and dirt on the floor which should not happen since everyone pays a cleaning fee.
So overall an enjoyable stay but with problems that can be easily corrected.
