I had a great stay in MaryJo's apartment--it's located very close to Patriotismo metro and metrobús (purple line), so it's easy to get around from there. Conveniently, there's a woman selling chopped fruit and fresh orange juice in the mornings only a few doors down. The apartment also has an ample supply of drinking water, hot water for showers, and good wifi and cable tv. I was able to watch Netflix when I wanted some English programming. Potential downsides: The apartment is next door to a preschool so this can be noisy in the early mornings, the bed is bit firm, and it's located in the inner courtyard on the 2nd floor so there's no city or street view out of any of the windows. Another positive: When I arrived, MaryJo's parents helped me bring my bags up the stairs, explained everything, and had placed some fresh fruits and flowers in the apartment.
