Juan’s apartment is fabulous. I loved staying here. 7 mins to plaza italia or Palmero station / cheap and easy way to get to central. He had maps and lonely planets for us to use, showed us around the apartment and also showed us places worth visiting on a map. Walking distances are the gardens and a mall. Supermarket is close also. There’s a little gelato place a block down the road. I felt safe the whole time I stayed at Juan’s apartment. Some reviews noted that it can get noisy. I would say it’s only noisy outside on a Friday and a Saturday night if there a groups of people passing by. That did not bother me as I slept well the week I stayed there.
It’s also very clean, has a good powerful shower, coffee, salt, sugar and kitchen utensils provided. We also had complimentary orange juice and bottled water in the fridge waiting for us.
