The location is outstanding, especially for a solo female traveler. It's 1 very short block from the park, 1/2 block to the right is a Superama and a great taco stand; 1/2 block to the left is fresh coconut water out of the shell and an organic market that rocks. This area is safe, I walked at night, it's full of trees and water fountains and art deco. I used UBER but you can use the subway.
The hosts are very talented and hospitable men who both went out of their way to help me when I had a medical challenge. I hope to stay here again in a couple months.
