The apartment is conveniently located a block and a half from the Plaza Italia subway station as well as bus stops. Restaurants, shops, bakeries, markets large and small, barber shops and pharmacies are all within a block or two. No exaggeration. On the ninth floor with a generously sized terrace, you could still here street noises. However, I just closed the sliding glass door and wasn’t bothered by it in the least. I felt safe walking in the area both day and night. It’s a popular area that generates a lot of foot traffic. The building and apartment are clean and well maintained. Initially, the internet signal was slow. Rodrigo sent an assistant to contact the internet company which resolved the WiFi speed. Thereinafter, it worked extremely well. Likewise, when rainwater had leaked through the bathroom window, Rodrigo sent a workman to seal it. I am very content with my stay at this apartment. So much so that I renewed my one-month reservation and stayed a second month.
