Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Arts & Flats apartment.
Pros -
Host accommodated a very late night checkin (albeit with a fee). Clean and serviceable unit. Apartment is well located near areas you will want to visit for night life, meals and tapas, as well as points of interest.
Neighborhood is quiet and seems very safe.
Close to major bus and metro stations, as well as train station.
Try Empanadas restaurant next door at street level for excellent breakfast and friendly, informative staff.
Super market is close by.
There was ice in the freezer!
Shower water pressure is good.
Good closet space.
Cons -
80 steps up to unit with no elevator, so travel light and be prepared to exercise!
Check in takes place at the host's office--not at apartment, estimated as a 15 minute walk from apartment. We arrived at midnight and had taxi wait while we checked in so he could take us on to apartment after check in.
AC is very quiet but did not seem to keep bedroom cool at night.
You will need to purchase coffee as this is not supplied in unit. Beware of using electric tea kettle as it tripped the breaker and cut off power for entire apartment until we located the breaker panel to reset.
Shower is open format, so that water splashes on floor. Also the shower water smells bad (like sulphur) and there are bolts on the shower floor which are covered by a rubber mat, but still somewhat painful to stand on.
