The host was very responsive, helpful, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The apartment was charming and worked well for a short visit, and the location was excellent—within easy walking distance of restaurants, attractions, and everything we wanted to see.That said, there were a few issues that would make a longer stay difficult. The kitchen area is quite small and somewhat cramped. Because the building is older, noise from both vehicle and pedestrian traffic carries through the wooden shutters, so it can be quite loud, especially at night and in the early morning.We also experienced some maintenance issues during our stay. I was unable to get the air conditioning to turn on, the television only offered Spanish-language programming, and we had no hot water on the second and third days.Overall, we enjoyed the character of the apartment and its fantastic location, but the noise level and maintenance concerns impacted our experience.
