The apartment was exactly what we expected. Close to downtown, with the number of beds we needed and the accommodations we needed. Our host greeted us at the door when we arrived and responded quickly to all our questions. She had some extra goodies for the kids when we arrived. She also helped us get a taxi for our departure, which was a great help. The apartment is functional, clean and comfortable. The only thing I would say is that you have to be aware of the location. Although it is very close to many sightseeing spots and close to the metro and easily accessible, the surrounding area did not feel very safe. We didn't have a problem, but it was clear we had to be looking out as we entered and exited the building and walked around the neighborhood. It was the perfect spot for us during this trip and our host, Carmen, was wonderful. So I wouldn't discourage anyone from renting this place, just be mindful of your surroundings when you stay here.
