    I've only been here a few months but it's a very quiet and nice apartment. Some things needed to be fixed but maintenance got to it. Monica and Elba are the best!

    They are working very hard to accommodate and renovate the place, I wouldn't like to say that the interior work is great, however, that is not their fault, since workers do slappy work at times. I think there is space for improvement, in the future will be even better!! I had a geat 1 year living here.
