Eric's apartment is beautiful and adds authenticity that you won't get from a hotel experience. He's added some additional dining/living room furniture, which is a nice touch for hosting the new friends you are sure to meet in this lively neighborhood! There are numerous bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques, and beautiful parks within close walking distance. The apartment itself is nestled in a quiet, peaceful community, making relaxation easy. We did not experience any disruptive noise from neighbors above as mentioned in other posts. The kitchen pantry was well stocked, along with fresh fruit, queso and tortillas. Fiber optic wifi was up and running, as well! Upon arrival, we were greeted with keys from Gustavo, the building attendant. Gladly, we were able to meet Eric upon check-out. He's such a nice guy and was a great host--very responsive to email throughout our stay and happy to provide tips and suggestions, as needed. I will definitely return to this lovely city and Eric's flat!
