This is a great apartment for its value! It is walking distance to the historical center, mercado, and metro. Due to it being close to the mercado where there is a lot of chicken products, the street can be pretty smelly, but you can't smell it in the apartment when you open the windows. Also, the apartment is on the 5th floor out of 6th floors so you'll hear the neighbors, kids, dogs and people walking above you. However, this didn't bother us as once the lights are out, it's relatively quiet. This Airbnb had the BEST bed in all our travels and slept rather comfortably which was a huge plus!
