Nora was an excellent host and the local area was satisfactory, but there are a couple of things I wish I had known before booking:
1. this apartment is on the first floor.
2. the German restaurant next door is FANTASTIC. my partner is German and he said it was very authentic and we went severa times during our 2 month stay
3. there is minimal natural light in this apartment making it feel very dark or very clinical, no in between.
4. the AC works VERY well. there is a strong fan and ac unit in the living room and they definitely get the job done during the hotter BA months.
5. the nearby area is not overly active on weekends. we are digital nomads so we work during the week and go out during evenings and weekends so this wasless than ideal for us, but for shorter stays or vacation stays where you would be doing things during the week it is fantastic!
6. there is a yellow bus tour pickup just down the road. very convenient for first time travelers!
7. go to the mercado nearby!
