Juan was extremely responsive and welcoming with plenty of suggestions in the area, Época Cafe being one of our favourites. The location is amazing and room was spotless! Great A/C, clean linens, we wouldn’t have asked for a more comfortable stay. Highly recommend!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. I can't fault anything about it, and the host was brilliant. I hooe that we have the opportunity to stay again in the future, and I don't hesitate to recommend this beautiful apartment in the heart of the old city.
