Third stay
This was my third time staying at the Rafael Residence. Small one bedroom apartments. Convenient parking, friendly and accommodating staff, kitchenette, business friendly. Lovely neighborhood with excellent public transportation. Would definitely stay here again!
Amazing location in the heart of Baka. Very clean and compact. Perfect for our needs. Good value for money. Coffee shops and shul nearby. Very pleasant handling, even when we came in very late at night. Will definitely be back.
Very comfortable spaces, nice kitchen, prompt service from hosts

Towels smelled bad
Dust on night stands

Very clean, spacious, suitable for various functionality.

Disliked: Amenities
We rented a 1-bedroom unit. The LR/DR was smaller than expected. Also no paper towels, tissues or dish soap. Washer/dryer was in the basement and coin operated; but there were nearby laundries with quick turn around

Everything was good except that the bathroom of our room (114) had the constant overpowering stench of sewage.
