The apartment is austere but very pleasant, very ideal for a very long stay. It has the added charm of living and interacting with the local population, which in itself is a very interesting experience. The apartment is very quiet considering that it is located in the bustling centro historico. You can walk to the many historic sites and to the many good restaurants in the neighborhood. Sergio and Edith were perfect surrogate hosts. They were a delight and they are definitely worth coming back to next year.
