This apartment has some plusses and minuses depending on what you want out of a stay. The location in el carmen can't be beat. You can quickly get to everything in this historic neighborhood quickly. The aparment had really good internet while we were there. I saw more than 400mb downloads. The apartment came with a parking space although we didn't use it. If you're coming from the US make sure you are comfortable driving those tiny streets with tight turns. On the down side this aparment could be described as basic. The furniture was quite old and worn. The linens and cookware were as well. Lastly, this is not a quiet area. There are a few bars nearby and they are open late. The crowds were not nuts but they talk loudly well into the evening. You don't hear it in the bedrooms but it's loud in the living room. Overall I think this place was a good value for the location if the locatin is what your want.
