This apartment is great for those who want to be in the middle of music, drinking, and partying scene. You can have fun just sitting on the large balcony, drinking, people watching, and hearing all the music from the street below you. Only caveat is that it is so close to the action that it gets very, very loud at night. But if you plan to be up till 3 am anyway, then that's not a problem - this can be a problem though if you need to sleep earlier (one night I had to plug in my headphones and listen to music to help me fall asleep). Also, no kitchen - but again no big deal as there are enough restaurants steps away to keep you interested for a week. So if the noise and lack of kitchen don't matter and you want to stay in a hip fun place, this is an excellent choice. Also, the neighborhood is less upscale then some of the other famous neighborhoods not far away. For me, that's a plus, but I can see how another area may be a better fit for someone more luxury minded.
Sylvia is great too. Transport to and from the airport was worth it.
