Mercedes was an exceptional host--extremely responsive, very flexible and full of helpful suggestions. We loved the area, and enjoyed staying in a neighborhood that was a touch quieter. The apartment was even better in person than the pictures--truly lovely details (the tile so beautiful, and the original woodwork!) with ample sunlight, and the terrace was lovely!

The only small issue we had was noise. There was construction in the unit below which woke us up twice (this was circumstantial, and Mercedes was very responsive in checking with her neighbor).

Additionally, noise from passing traffic was easily heard while in bed. This was no trouble for my husband, but I'm a (very!) light sleeper and it did wake me up most nights. This should be no trouble for most that are not very light sleepers.

Mercedes was an impeccable host, and this space was everything and more described in the listing.
