The apartment was exactly as described!

Shopping, bars and restaurants nearby. On one corner a small corner store for basics and a vegetable stand down the block. It's loud in the daytime but the evenings were pleasant enough. Cooking was no problem as the kitchen had adequate pots, pans and cookware.

Communications were no issue, in fact when I did have a problem with the WiFi Valerie addressed it immediately.

The neighborhood felt safe at all hours. I walked almost everywhere and at no point was the a concern for security.

I would stay there again too!!
