Unfortunately, it was very hot inside the apartment in the evening. With the temperatures in the mid 30s during the day outside, there was no way the building could stay cool during the day. The fans helped a little, but we couldn’t keep the windows open because of thunderstorms that came through overnight. This would be a great place to stay during the milder/cooler months. The concierge staff was very helpful and courteous. ##### Doug S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Gloria G. 18 Jan 2018 #### Apartamento espacioso y cerca del centro Nos ha gustado mucho el apartamento. Espacioso, con buena calefacción, luminoso y muy bien comunicado. Se puede ir en transporte público a cualquiera de las visitas turísticas y andando queda cerca del centro. Funciona muy bien todo, incluido el wifi. Quizá lo único criticable son los 2 sofás rojos del salón que están viejos y no son nada cómodos. Deberían cambiarlos. Las camas si son cómodas. El piso de arriba está muy bien para descansar y si vas con adolescentes que puedan aislarse un poco. ##### Gloria G. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2017
