The apartment is on the corner of a nice street with shops and restaurants near by. It's also very easy to walk to the city, downtown, and the area around Marquez, which we liked a lot. There is no sun in the apartment, which might be an advantage in the summer. The street is quite busy but inside the house, you don't hear that much as the apartment is on the 3r floor. It's small but is has everything you might need for a pleasurable stay
