Location location location. Rubens place is well situated at the top of the restaurant district in Bario Alto and a ten minute walk will get you to the metro. The view from the amazing patio is wonderful, looking out over the Bario and Baxia down to the river. The two bedrooms are nice for fussy sleepers such as us. Two heaters are supplied which are needed in November. The kitchen is well equiped and the apartment should be able accommodate a family easily. The apartment was very quiet at night. Note that there are five flights of stairs to ascend to reach the apartment.
