A bit of a long walk to the city center, but totally possible (we did it with kids every day). We were a group of 8, so it was nice for everyone to have their own space. The neighborhood seems residential (not really sure because seemed empty on weekend and then many more people during the week, but lots of apartments??​), as it was very quiet at night, which was nice. The exterior of the building was a little off-putting (not very well maintained), especially for American travellers with kids in tow, buy we ultimately felt comfortable there. Aida was a great host and very helpful in arranging transfer from the airport. She was away on vacation when we arrived, but made arrangements for a friend to meet us at the apartment and get us situated. Thanks for sharing your space with us.
