Reasonable Stay with Some Issues

local attractionsharbor viewsdirty drainnoisy air conditioning

The location offered superb access to local attractions. I particularly enjoyed the proximity to Salamanca Markets. The apartment provided wonderful views overlooking the harbor.

The apartment had a noticeable smell, resembling a dirty drain. I found this quite unpleasant . The air conditioning was also very noisy, and I could hear units in adjacent apartments.
