The location of the apartment is perfect, bang in the middle of a lovely suburb with a strong Latin influence, plenty of great places to eat and drink (Parkview restaurant grill was outstanding), near a cool museum and right next to an "el" station to head into the city. The apartment was clean, a good place to rest for 4 people, powerful if loud air conditioning and with a functional kitchen which was great even if we did not use it. It was perfect for us because we didn't spend a lot of time in the apartment but it wouldn't be a super roomy spot for 4 people to hang out at due to space. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the apartment is really a basement, which meant not much light or airflow got in so it felt a bit closed in. It was a great base of operations but not somewhere to spend a lot of time in.
