Stop reading reviews and book this place if it’s available, it is perfect and Nicky is an excellent host.
The location is perfect if you are wanting to stay in Barrio Santa Cruz, it is central to everything you’d want to do there. We walked everywhere, even Traina is walkable.
The apartment itself is amazing; perhaps the only “problem” with it is that you might be tempted to stay inside or on the balcony instead of going out to enjoy the neighborhood. Everything is in great shape, and there were many more small appliances and conveniences than we expected.
Lastly, Nicky is an amazing host, easily one of the best I’ve had on Air BnB. I asked for a couple good non-touristy spots, and got about 20 recommendations back. The handful we were able to try were all great. She was super responsive and very organized with check in (she’s remote, and still on top of things!).
Bottom line, I would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it to my best friends.
