The arrangements for accessing the apartment were excellent and we were quickly and happily installed. The apartment building is in a very charming square in the beautiful and historic Santa Cruz district and we loved strolling and getting lost in the maze of narrow streets and finding unexpected treasures. The kitchen appliances were very good – we cooked a little – but mostly ate out. Bed is very comfortable. We found the apartment a little small for our 4 week stay and for a future trip would prefer Irene’s larger apartment in the same building. The small patio was not as useful as we expected from the photo but the rooftop is spacious with fantastic views over the city including the Cathedral. Irene was easy to contact and very responsive. Thanks, Irene!
