This space was wonderful - particularly with a family who loves the drums! The fact that there were no other tenants allowed the kids to play freely and we didn't have to worry about disturbing others when the mood to drum hit! The place was very comfortable and spacious, and well set up. The only downside was a lack of a washer/dryer, but for a short stay that's not a big deal.
There were a few markets nearby, a juice place next door, and a product stand across the street. A few locals (and our cab driver) warned us about the neighborhood, but frankly we didn't see much of an issue once we had a chance to check it out. Although I could see why some would be overly concerned, we found it fine, walked around with our family, and felt totally fine.
Thanks for a lovely stay!
