A comfortable basement apartment that served us well and was easy to access. There are two metro stations nearby to get you to the main spots around town - also definitely possible (and pleasant) to walk from here to the key central sites. The area is pretty lively - protests and balaclavas on the weekends - I never felt in danger but I imagine for some it might be too much. If you can brave that there are a lot of nice places to eat and drink in the surrounding area.
