The location was great. Many good restaurants in the area and walkable to most things. The apartment had a lot of beautiful natural light in the living room and shades on every window, including the bedroom, to make it dark if necessary.
It’s about a 20 minute walk to the city center. Taxis are really easy to come by if not wanting to walk and easy metro access as well. Mario is very hospitable and responsive. He gave us a welcoming gift and recommendations on places to go in the area. We had an issue with the hot water for the shower the first night we got there and were not able to have a hot shower. He came over to take a look and adjusted the hot water heater. After doing that, it worked better the next day. Being January, it was pretty cold and the bathroom had a little portable heater which made it nice and warm. The heating in the apartment worked well too. Unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable and the WiFi signal was not very strong. Overall, the building was really nice, semi quiet, and equipped with an elevator.
