I was really pleased with Gerardo's place. Upon arrival, there was fruit, water, coffee and juice to get started. The building had a 24/7 security desk for extra security. It's set on a busy street, but the apartment itself is set back, so very little of the street noise is heard.
The neighborhood is full of restaurants, cafes and a weekly fruit and veg market at Jardin Puskin (Wednesdays) across the street. Also, in front of the building is the motorbus stop 1 block away, that connects you to the bigger metro system to get around the city. There's a bigger supermarket about 4 blocks away, but there are also small bodegas near by. The apartment is well equipped with a good kitchen and all you need to cook meals, there is an all in one washer and dryer in the apartment, and the water pressure in the bathroom is great. Gerardo is a great host who is responsive and really did everything to make my stay comfortable.
