PROS- The apartment is in a great location close to everything. Within steps you have bakeries, laundromats, fruit stands, flower shops, grocery stores. Soho which has many shops & restaurants is only one mile away. The subte D line is 2 blocks away. Lovely Jardín botánico park is less than a mile away. The location is perfect.
CONS- The apartment is located on the corner of 2 major streets Bulnes & Charcas so it can be very noisy. We rented the apartment for 2.5 months and at first it was very difficult because of the constant noise from construction and traffic at all times of the day & night. Eventually we got accustomed to the noise of the city. The other problem is that one of the neighbors has a granddaughter who visits frequently who basically screams the entire time that she is there. So if you want a quiet & peaceful place or need to work from home this place may be quite challenging. Other than the excessive noice the apartment is lovely and in a great location.
