Alma greeted us warmly and provided loads of information about the area, complete with Metro maps, enlarged maps of the neighborhood, etc. Very thoughtful. She also has a stash of tour books and other resources for visitors.
The apartment is charming and very clean. We found that some things looked a bit more comfortable than they actually were (e.g.the couches), but overall we were very happy with this place.
There are tons of restaurants near and just beyond the sweet little park that's a few blocks away. Also, we were lucky enough to arrive on a Friday when the street market was in full swing.
