It's a lovely house that was tastefully renovated and truly feels like a home. I recommend traveling with light luggage, as the stairs leading up the apartment are steep and narrow. We also noticed the foul smell coming from the drains in the bathroom that other guests have commented on in their reviews. It wasn't overwhelming, but a bit unpleasant nevertheless. We found the mattress in the bedroom too soft; it made both of us sink into the middle. The walls are rather thin; we heard one neighbor who was watching television until 2 in the morning (which Marianella said never happened before). We were grateful for being allowed to check out late, and we really liked the neighborhood — especially the wonderful bookstore nearby, La Batisfera Librería.
