Simply fantastic. Easily one of my best Airbnb experiences out of nearly 100. First of all, the neighborhood is a little slice of paradise, with quiet, tree-lined streets and a ton of character… it reminds me of Roma before it became over-popular. Lots of shops, restaurants, bars, and parks right around, with very few tourists. The building has been gorgeously restored, and the apartments have been designed in a comfortable minimalist style that is just great to come home to. A fully modern kitchen, nice sofas and chairs, large flat screen TV, good shower, reliable internet, and high-quality bed, on the other hand, make it hard to leave.
While there is no metro stop within 10-15 blocks, you have 3 different lines within around a 10 minute walk, which makes it easy to explore any side of the city (I like Viaducto, but Etiopia is also convenient). Plus, it’s great to walk to the center (around 30 minutes), and fun to choose a new route every day… so much to see down here that people who stay in the more popular neighborhoods miss out on. The on-site staff are helpful and friendly, and the hostess is always available for questions and went out of her way to help me when it mattered. Highly recommended!
