This apartment is in a wonderful location - with easy access to the Metro, parks, museums and restaurants. It was quite noisy, even with the windows shut. It is located on a very major street, and the noise level was difficult at times even with ear plugs. It is also an old building, and we had some issues with pipes smelling bad in the bathroom and the stove not working consistently. Having laundry was a huge plus. Marcelo was VERY communicative and accommodating about these issues, and helped us be as comfortable as possible.
