Laura from the United States summed it up perfectly in her glowing review: “The perfect Centro Histórico stay. This charming 300+ year old building is charming with high ceilings, lots of plants, and a shared terrace with a view. The metro is a block and a half away. The Centro Histórico is happening during the day and gets very, very quiet at night. Great for sleeping!”
