We were very pleased with the location of David’s apartment which is right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the Barrio Alto shops, bars and restaurants. Yes, that means loud evenings into the early hours of the morning but we quickly learned a white noise app solved any issue with trying to fall asleep.
After just two nights we already felt like locals, and found our favorite spots to start the day and end the evening (coffee in the morning two doors down at Tanoa Cafe - for vegans, they had oat milk! and a final round of drinks from TascaMastai - friendliest, sweetest bartenders at this neighborhood bar across the street at the end of the block).
Tips: avoid the giant croissant cafe across the street but do take advantage of the tiny balcony off of the bedroom and enjoy a glass of wine at the end of your day.
Finally, David was extremely responsive and kind. He seemed to truly care about our experience and that made us feel really good.
