The apartment was clean and comfortable. The location was convenient. Possible to walk to the main attractions, but there's also the metro very nearby if you don't want to walk more than 15 minutes to the sites. There are lots of shops and food places around. Lavapies neighbourhood is very hip and multicultural. It may seem dated at first glance, but it's kind of like a gentrified ghetto. The street is very lively with parties at night on weekends or people walking around and hanging out. It felt safe for us two girls, but if you are sensitive to noise, this might not be for you. The apartment itself seemed newly remodelled but the building is old. There was construction going on at the lobby but they worked in the day when we were outside anyway. We had some issues with the lock. The host explained to us that it's an old lock but it took us a few tries to open it every time we came back. Overall it was a comfortable stay though!
Luis was a great host. He received us at the apartment to check us in and gave clear and easy instructions. He was very responsive to messages.
