The location is fantastic; close to attractions, dining and transportation. We mostly walked, but also used the metro system for some of the more distant sights. The metro was easy to maneuver, even for non Spanish speakers. We also would occasionally poop out at the end of a long day and need to take a taxi back to the apartment. Easy, peasey! Just stand near the curb and watch for a green light on top of the vehicle and, if you can see that far, a “Libre” sign on the windshield. Wave and look pitiful and poof! , they are there to rescue you. We never had to wait more than a minute or two, and the costs seemed reasonable.
The apartment is large and nicely appointed. We were traveling with our adult son and appreciated the privacy of two bathrooms. The “family” bathroom was particularly nice. Also important to us was the fact that even though the building oozes with charm, it has an elevator. It happened to be out of service when we arrived on a Sunday. The cleaning lady helped us schlep our luggage up the stairs and was immediately on the phone with management, raving away in Spanish. Amazingly, the elevator was repaired within a couple of hours and the problem never recurred.
The only negative is that the wi-fi signal, while excellent in the front living area, in the back bedrooms is a little weak, even with a booster. Find something else to do in your bedroom.
