A leafy complex of decent apartments and suites on a quiet neighborhood street. Expect friendly staff, red-tiled floors, kitchenettes, spotty wi-fi and big bedrooms with one or two beds (some with small sitting rooms and futons). The pool area is terrific. Outside high season, it can be one of the best-value spots in the Zona Dorada.
