The only reason I would give this place a 4 star is because the elevator was broken and I had 3 people with back and knee issues that had to climbs 5 flights (actually16) of staIrs every time. Balcony is on inside, center of building, not on thw street. Sergio was excellent and offered a refund if we wanted another place. It was not his fault at all, but if renting, I would ask if it is working if not all in great health. Showers were phenomenal. Location was excellent, close to metro, bis, and taxi, several historical sites and the beach. I would stay there again if the elevator worked :)
