If you want a feel for a local side stay at Patricia's place. The location is a short walk to street side shopping for food and other things. Also the metro isn't far at all. Patricia was nice and even invited me to join her and some friends. She was a help with any question I had which was many. Don't worry about walking up 6 floors just remember its just stairs you will make it. If I ever go back I will be booking her place again.
