The apartment is an absolutely gorgeous remodeled unit in an older building. I had an extended stay for about two months and I was very comfortable. It's a spacious unit with a lot of storage and a closed off kitchen which is great for preparing your own meals.
Stores, restaurants, bakeries, etc. are all in walking distance. There are several bus lines very close by that get you anywhere you need to go in the city. The subway is about a 15 min. walk away or a very quick and cheap cab ride (the bus system is much more extensive so I prefer to use that). The neighborhood is safe and the apartment is bordered by two major avenues so you can walk around any time of day or night. The neighbors are kind and helpful as well.
Mariela is a generous and gracious host. She went out of her way to make sure I was happy in the apartment. She was always available to help with any issue any time of the day or night. She even took an interest in my work and provided resources and great suggestions to help me with my research. I would definitely stay there again. I highly recommend this apartment to anyone looking for a comfortable, beautiful space they can relax in while visiting the city.
