It was a very comfortable place with a basic/minimalist feel to it. Everything was clean. Felt totally safe in the neighborhood and having a guard/doorman even added more security. Everyone we meet in the building was from the USA. Our apartment was on the street side which we did hear a bit of noise but nothing awful. Overall it is a quite neighborhood within walking distance to many restaurants. We took Uber everywhere if we went long distances. Most of the tours we took were through AirBnB experiences which was great!
