The flat managed to excel in about every single way that mattered. Located on a side street right off of Plaza Alfalfa it was totally quiet even though there were large windows opening to the street. Plaza Alfalfa itself contains numerous good restaurants with Bar Alfalfa superb for a quick stop. That there was a taxi rank in the plaza was a convenience. For ice cream, there is a branch of Bolas nearby. Try it.
Returning to the flat ... the elevator was helpful. We didn’t cook but the kitchen looked well outfitted. What did matter was both the bed and couch - both outstandingly comfortable. My daughter used the air conditioning at night in the living room (she had a bed there) but the building stays so cool that it wasn’t necessary to use the bedroom unit. There are ceiling fans.
Beatriz lives upstairs which is a plus in a pinch. Communication with her was great.
