Gabriel was great, he met me at the apartment entrance and was kind enough to carry my bag up the flight of stairs. This was a welcome gesture as it was extremely hot (35C / 95F) and though the walk from the Metro was brief I was pretty tired by the time I made it to the apartment. The apt. is in an excellent location, bars, restaurants, attractions, all right outside. I will say that it is a lively neighborhood and so there will be noise until the restaurants close - this was not a problem for me (I was out until closing!) but if you are looking for a place that is very quiet this may not be for you. Gabriel was very kind, offering my directions to use the metro as well as local places to visit. The apartment had everything I needed - washing machine for clothes, hair dryer, towels, body soap, etc. And there is a market right downstairs if you need it. I would definitely stay here again!
