We enjoyed our stay, the location was perfect. Like the other reviews said, the garbage trucks start collecting in this narrow street between 5:00 - 6:00 AM. The room could use a new sliding door or some attention to the track and rollers because it was pretty stiff to open and close. We could never get the kitchen light to come on, but it may have needed a new bulb, and the bulb in the lamp went out during our stay with no replacement in the unit. There was a nice full size fridge and freezer on the balcony which was awesome. The kitchenette had plenty of dishes, pans, mixing bowls, utensils and was generally very well stocked. There is a bar / restaurant on the corner that is a little noisy but provides excellent opportunities for people watching from the balcony! Overall, we loved our stay here, realizing that it isn't a resort, there's no pool, and it is not a new building! Plus, the bed was super cozy and comfy if you like a soft mattress. If you like a firm mattress, you will probably be miserable!
