Strategically, this apartment is great. It is about 2 blocks from the D line and about 4 blocks from the H line of the Subte. The Subte (Subway) is an inexpensive way to get around the city without dealing with surface traffic. Unlike othe cities, there is no discount for buying a "multi-ride" card. The rides do get progressively less expensive the longer you use the Subte card throughout the month. You can also use the Subte card on the buses, but you need to communicate the destination to the driver so he can charge you the correct rate. The apartment has good space, good light, and a very nice balcony. There is a big grocery store (Coto) around the corner and a little pocket grocery store a few doors away that generally has good prices on wine, peanut butter and almond milk. The only negative item I can come up with is the fact that the doors and windows are quite old and single pane. This means that they do not proctect from heat or cold very well, thankfully the weather was quite nice while we were there (October), and that they transmit the noise of the street below very well. Friday nights were especially noisy. We wore earplugs some nights to get to sleep. We also had a few outages of the internet, but Martim was quick to call the provider and provide updates. Martim was a great apartment manager- quick to respond to questins and issues. He even helped us make an osteopath appointment while we were there- which we very much appreciated. Recommend this apartment.
