This place is a very nice apartment located in a very nice safe neighborhood.
Pros:
-Great location, next to many great restaurants. If you are vegan the condensa area has a lot of vegan restaurants within walking distance
-clean place with nice view of city and convenient washer/dryer access in the apartment (the time that jumps up will be 3 hours per wash and 4 hours for drying but you can change this)
-Alejandra informs you of things going on around the city. Which is nice.
-There is a gorgeous view of the city if you go up to the 18th floor and then up to the rooftop. Definitely recommend doing this.
Cons:
-Yes the traffic is loud, you will hear it all day everyday and night because you are on the 2nd floor next to a busy major highway. If it was higher it may have been a little less loud. A lot of trucks and loud motorcycles pass by frequently. For us we slept well bc we were so exhausted from our activities. Sometimes we would wake up to horns or sirens and have trouble falling back asleep for a minute or two. And then sometimes we would just be sitting in the apartment and wish for a little more quiet. We did have ear plugs but who can sleep with ear plugs comfortably all night every night?
-hot water in the shower only lasts 10 minutes and it takes about 30 minutes to fill back up. So be aware to take quick showers if more than one person is staying here.
Conclusion: We did enjoy our stay here bc the location was amazing and apartment was so clean and had all the amenities including a full shower. But at times the loudness could be frustrating.
If you need some quiet time when home and can’t stand living next to a major freeway this is not for you.
If you don’t mind loud cars and know you will be exhuasted enough to knock out right away (or are a super heavy sleeper) this will work for you.
