The apartment looks exactly like the pictures! It is so charming, with an historic ambiance, and is quite spacious and comfortable.

Prior to arrival, Rebeca answered all our questions promptly and thoroughly, and upon arrival, we were welcomed by her brother, Alex. Alex gave us a thorough tour of the apartment, explaining how to operate the air conditioning (which worked perfectly throughout or 3 day stay in mid-July) and security system. The rooms were all very clean, neat, and tastefully decorated.

My husband and I stayed in the downstairs bedroom, and put our 11 year old in the upstairs room. Street noise and an occasional loud conversation late at night could be heard from the downstairs bedroom, but using foam earplugs all but cancelled that out. The upstairs bedroom is very quiet, and our daughter slept soundly without disturbance.

The showers had great water pressure and excellent hot/cold control. The washer and dryer also worked perfectly, and though there was no instruction manual, I was able to go online and find the English versions for both. As mentioned before, the AC kept the entire apartment at a comfortable temperature, but there were also 3 portable room fans to keep the cool air circulating, so we had no need to lower the temperature from its preset reading.

The loose floor tiles mentioned by another reviewer were still there, but they didn't seem to pose any risk for us, and we actually thought it added to the charm of the apartment.

The location of the apartment was ideal for our needs, and walking distance from all our points of interest. Though located off a busy street, we felt perfectly safe at all times.

The check out procedure was very simple, and though our travels in Europe lasted only 4 days after we left this apartment, the security deposit had already been processed by the time we arrived home. Thank you Rebeca and Alex for a lovely stay! We would book this apartment again in a heartbeat.
