Khaya Apartment

VerónicaRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We were staying in the apartment for 2 months. It's cute and comfortable. Cleanliness is also something to note as it was shiny when we arrived. We felt at home. It has everything you need for a short and long stay too. From the balcony you can see the mountains and the sunsets are wonderful. The condominium is quiet, with amenities we have enjoyed a lot (the coworking, pool and gymnasium). Communication with Alberto and Sara was smooth, they always responded quickly. We loved spending these two months there. Thank you for everything!

Cityscape iFreses, 20th floor! AC, TV and Pool

JohnRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Nice place. 20th floor with a good view. Clean, lots of good restaurants around. Safe. Friendly staff. This didn’t bother me because I wanted to wake up early, but Monday morning the train starts at 6 am and it is very loud. During the weekend, the train does not run. Something to consider about anywhere in this neighborhood.
