Edificio Helena

The room could use a couple of small improvements, but nothing serious. Antonio greeted us each morning with a cheerful smile, the buffet was delicious, and the facilities were comfortable and great. It felt magical.

The apartment was basic, and the hot water was unreliable. The shared area, where breakfast is served, has good views.

The apartment had a kitchen, bathroom, TV, bed, fridge, and sink, plus a rooftop terrace with a sauna and jacuzzi. Breakfast was included and good. But I didn’t sleep well. On three of the four days I was there, people partied from 11 pm until 4 am, even though the terrace was closed. The noise bounced into the apartment, and with metal grates on the windows, I could hear everything.

The roof terrace has amazing views, and breakfast up there was quite good. We rented an apartment in the building for two nights. It was clean, and both the beds and sofa were comfortable. There’s no air conditioning, so it can get very hot. The building and street traffic are noisy, and the neighborhood isn’t the most pleasant.
