Alberto had a hernia operation prior to our arrival but his wife Consuelo met us at the door to the building. The location is fantastic as it is a short street right in the middle of the action but as a short street without nearby bars or restaurants it is quiet. Never heard a sound during our stay. We were there during late July and it was hot. The A/C worked well to keep the apt cool. Alberto and Consuelo also left lots of info as to how things in the apt work and nearby restaurants etc. We chose to eat out so we did not make extensive use of the kitchen but it appears very adequate.
