The one-bedroom apartments give you a door between the bed and the rest of the day. There is a living room with a sofa and a dining table, a separate bedroom, a full bathroom and a proper kitchen, all looking out on the Caribbean. They are the apartments Potenza set up with long stays in mind.
Living room and kitchen
The living rooms are bright, with long windows on the sea and palms. One has a leather sofa facing the water, another a red sectional under a big painting, another a green sofa beside a wall of glass, another white walls, a ceiling fan and a pair of armchairs at the window. Most have a dining table for two to four.
The kitchens are full kitchens rather than kitchenettes: a stove, a refrigerator, a microwave, dishes and glasses, and a coffee and tea maker. One listing describes a living area with a flat-screen TV, a coffee and tea maker, a dining area and ocean views, and a bathroom with both a bathtub and a shower.
The bedroom
The bedroom has a king or queen bed and, in at least one unit, its own air conditioning. In several apartments the bedroom window also looks out to sea.
Working from the Malecón
If you are in Santo Domingo for work, or working remotely for a few weeks, these are the apartments to ask for. One lists high-speed internet of 40 Mb/s and a dedicated workspace, with a king bed, a 65-inch TV and a fully equipped kitchen so you can settle in while you get to know the city.
