The apartment is on the first floor of an old house and the room was set at the back and was very quiet. Silvia gave me useful tips on what to do in BA and had maps and other flyers ready. The Subway station, restaurants, cafes and grocery shops are extremely close. I was there for 9 nights and getting to the conference venue at the Sheraton Hotel was only 30 mins by subway. Its a very safe neighbourhood and I enjoyed my breakfasts sitting in the cool balcony on the 2nd floor surrounded by potted plants. I would definitely stay here again if I return to BA.
