The house is in a pretty good location, though there is not much in the way of shops and restaurants within walking distance, so I recommend driving to restaurants, etc. as it takes most of an hour to get to the Centro Historico if you use the Metrobus and Train system. After the first day, we used our car which was much quicker.
The house itself has a cool vibe but needs a little TLC. Come with whatever you need for breakfast as the cupboards and fridge were totally empty and there was not even salt and pepper, which was a first for me.
