We had a wonderful stay at Alvaro's comfortable and stylish apartment. It sits between array of neighborhoods so you can dash around, being a part of the city's exuberant life. Couldn't ask for a better placement, in a barrio that still feels real. The apartment is spacious, luxe in the main bedroom, comfortable in the second. The kitchen is minimal but fine. Lots of closet and storage space. 2 bathrooms, great bathtub.
Set in the inner courtyard of an older building, the apartment gets a small amount of light. In the summer, that might be consoling. In the late fall, we would have rather had more sun coming in as we were spending a lot of time working "at home." You don't know what's going on outside. If you're often out and about, no problem.
Competent management.
All in all, an excellent stay.
