This is a well-maintained flat right in the middle of the barrio alto district. If you don't know, it is the center of bars and restaurant nightlife. People are out in the streets partying till the wee hours of the morning, but once in the apartment, the soundproofing windows work remarkably well and you will barely hear a thing. During the day it is very quiet. Be aware also that taxis aren't able to take you in front of the building as it's closed to most car traffic so you have to go around the corner. We had a great stay, slept well, and Patricia was a great and accommodating host.
