Beautiful property
Overall, this property is amazing. It is located about a mile from major museums and touristy sites. Normally, this would be fine, but we had one individual with mobility issues, and we learned quickly that getting cabs in this neighborhood takes a lot of time. The check in process is always more difficult than the US since it seems the preference is for someone to meet you on-site rather than just use a lock box. The individual meeting us was quick to arrive and gave us most important info. The only real drawback was there were no written instructions or anything. At one point a fuse blew and it took quite some time to get it fixed, but it seemed like a common issue. Maybe a binder with information like where the fuse boxes are located, check out procedures (i.e. where to put trash, used bedding, etc.) would be helpful. Overall, the property was beautiful with plenty of space and a large kitchen. the location is great (as long as you don't have mobility issues), there are lots of restaurants nearby, and the management was responsive to calls and questions. I would recommend this property to friends visiting the area.
