Mariana's place is the same excellent place it was for us the last time. Close to the metro, & plenty to walk to -- bakeries, coffee shops, supermarket, sushi spots, rotissierie takeout, bookstores, juice bars, real bars, two theatre venues -- without even crossing any major arteries. The famous Tuesday market! It is close to everything, super-easy to get wherever else. When you return to the apartment, everything is there for you to relax (except live teevee, if that matters to you -- don't let it). x
