Really liked the area. Close to the centre and everything you need is around. It is not a pretty square to see, but really nice and local when you're there. It was quite hot when I was there and it was mosquito season. For me personally that was a bit difficult, be eaten by mosquitos or be hot and keep the windows closed. The apartment is basic, but nice, not a lot of daylight, but when you're away a lot it's ok.
