The place is wonderful, remodeled and very clean. The photos don't do justice! Adriana, Sonia's mother, was wonderful welcoming me and giving me many tips about the neighborhood. The location is good. You can get to the major attractions taking one or two buses, and the bus stop is literally around the corner. Google maps is not synced with the bus timetable, so allow some extra time, even though the buses travel often, and can get to the center with more than one bus line (all of the bus lines pass from the same bus stop around the corner). The time to get to the center is around 45 min, which includes the time to walk to the second bus after you get off the first bus. It may sound difficult, but after the first day you learn the system and is very easy. Coming back, I mostly took one bus, since wandering in the city can get you to different bus lines. There are few fast-food type places in the immediate area for coffee, pizza and pasta. Not really the best, but I used them few times with satisfactory results. My only small complaint, if I have any, is that the apartment is located on a semi-arterial street that gets some additional traffic. As such, the bedroom gets some noise, even with the windows and shutters shut. Also, the family next door can be loud some mornings and the walls seem to be thin. The place is very quiet from 11 pm to 7 am, but if you are very sensitive to noise as I am and plan to sleep late into the day, I would recommend that you bring some ear plugs. Nevertheless, I took late morning and early afternoon naps with no problem. I would definitely stay at this place again!
