Wow. What a beautiful old building, renovated to a very high standard and located right across the street from the Mercado. The elevator had one glass wall where a fresco painting was revealed as you went up or down. Reception and daytime entry into the building is through a bright, neighbouring gift store, and after hours, through the front door, but I was informed that someone on staff is always available 24 hours. I loved my apartment. It had high ceilings with tall windows, like being in a European film. My windows did not open but there was very effective air-conditioning. The sheets and towels were lush. There was a Nespresso machine and Smeg appliances. There were many tv options in English (I know that you’re not there to watch tv) but nice, should you want some down time. The staff were all so lovely, friendly, professional and helpful. This establishment holds incredible value and I would be honoured to stay there again in a heartbeat.
