Eva's place is a dream come true and it's elegance exceeded our expectations. I traveled in a group of 4 couples and a single ages ranging from 23-80. There is plenty of privacy and something for everyone. There is a great selection of rooms whether you prefer the bright sunlight of the exterior rooms or the darker interior terrace rooms. I personally enjoyed one of the darker, very quiet interior rooms with a terrace. The beds are very comfortable with amazing pillows. Plenty of linens, toiletries, bedroom slippers, and hairdryers. Very hot water even with 9 people sharing the space.
Floor to ceiling doors open throughout the apartment to provide an amazing cross breeze and views of the street below. Very busy street that is extremely quiet and safe at night. Markets on every block for produce, pharmacy items, baked goods, liquor/wine, and anything you might need. Plenty of bars and restaurants. We spent a lot of time cooking in the well stocked kitchen. With so many people it was amazing to have the dishwasher and there was plenty of space to store our supplies. The living room is a wonderful area to sit and relax with plenty of comfortable seating and there was even a Christmas Tree. Furniture is well cared for with no signs of wear. Perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.
The building is very quiet though we happened to be there while there was heavy construction going on in the commercial space directly below us. Eva was very responsive and was able to get the crew to put off jackhammering until later in the morning. We were very impressed by that. The whole area is historic and clearly very well maintained. There was one minor issue with the stove top which required the circuit breaker to be reset and Eva arrived promptly to rectify the situation. She is very kind and her thoughtfulness is clearly reflected in the small touches and overall setup of the apartment.
You are able to walk almost anywhere from the apartment and there is a taxi stand directly outside the door. My father has very bad knees and managed the narrow stairs to the apartment just fine. While most of us opted to walk everywhere, it was very convenient for him to be able to hail a cab within minutes and we didn't have to worry about him at all. Quick ride from the airport and we were able to get an early check-in. Marisol met us with the keys and showed us around. She also provided us with maps and local information...more importantly...a bottle of champagne and chocolates.
This place is truly a gem. Everyone of my guests praised me for my excellent find and raved about the accommodations the entire stay. Elegant apartment with privacy. There isn't a single thing I would change...well done Eva!
