Silvia is a great host. She helped us with taxi's and restaurant recommendations. She was very helpful and even met us before we left with a very sweet parting gift. The apartment is in a cool neighborhood. There did not seem to be a lot of tourists but the the many bars and restaurants were always busy with locals. The apartment is very large and the patio was a really nice feature. It is close to the metro and there are tons of shops and markets all around. It was located very conveniently. The only problem we found were that the beds are not very comfortable. The apartment would be perfect with some newer mattresses.
