Good as Advertised!

The place is as good as advertised. The location is pretty solid, in an upscale neighborhood with several good eating options, and the subway is a two minute stroll from the front door. Inside its very clean and modern with all the amenties you could want, full kitchen, wifi, flat screen, hair dryer, etc. Also, Alex seems like a very nice and honest guy to deal with.
Four little things kept it from being "excellent." One, the bed is really two seperate beds with a little space between, which is great if you want two beds, but we did not. Two, the walls are a bit thin between this apartment and the Miami, so we could here our neighbors kids. Thirdly, there was a bit of contstruction going on in the courtyard, which was noisy during the day, but we were mostly out anyway. Finally, although the subway is right outside and goes all over the city, you have to change trains to get to and from the main square. Walking into town is cool once or twice, but gets a bit tiring. You can train in a few stops then walk down to city center, which is what we often did, but sore feet plus bags of shopping made us lazy and the added switching got to be a pain. (Am I nit-picking? All places are going to have issues and these are minor. Just a heads-up.)
All and all I doubt you'll find a better place at a better price. Walking around we saw few hotels in central locations and Alex is straight up, very honest, and even let us check out late. Go for it!
Owner's Response: Nice couple, really friendly guests. From the first email contact until the last day. They respected all our rules and leaved the apartment in very good conditions. There is no minimal complain from my side about them.
