Lovely updated apartment in a fantastic location. Raul was very prompt and welcoming, communication with him was excellent. The apartment is in a very busy area, where you can walk to everything. It is right down the street from the Central Market and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Fourth floor gives a nice little street view from the windows. Nice elevator makes it easy to bring luggage upstairs. There is noise in this busy square at night, mostly people not so much from cars. Recommend to bring earplugs, but it really didn't bother me much so I didn't use them.
The apartment has been updated and everything was clean. The bathroom is small but has been remodeled. Shower has good water pressure and excellent hot water. The bed was comfortable and sheets were clean and fresh. Kitchen was also updated and clean. Nice coffee machine, microwave, large frig with freezer. There is also a clothes washer which can be very convenient if you are there for a couple of days and there is enough sun to dry the clothes.
Wifi was excellent and reliable. Raul gave great tips for seeing the city and was helpful in every aspect. It was easy to walk to the taxi stand, to the Plaza for the Hop on Hop Off Bus pick up, and a ten minute taxi ride from the train station.
I was very happy with my experience at Raul's place.
