I traveled with 8 women and the flat worked great for us. We were always on the run so we only used it to sleep. The flat was clean and spacious. I had read a review about the hot water that concerned but we had no issues with the hot water. Although the unit had no air conditioning all you need to do is open up the windows and use the fans provided; it kept very cool. The neighborhood was very quiet. I didn’t even hear the kids from the daycare next door. The alley leading up to the flat is a little dark and I suggest bringing a small flashlight. Mauro and Maria allowed us to drop off our luggage prior which was a great help. They were very helpful with instructions and directions. The underground station is within walking distance was easy to use. There are 2 small convenience stores and Starbucks across the entrance of the underground station.
