Nice quiet apartment in residential building. Plenty of places to dine or get pastries. Couldn't find a gelato place though. Mercados are very nearby for grocery shopping. Didn't use Metro at all, used Hop-on, Hop-off tour bus, about 15-20 minute walk from nearest location.
Apartment is as described, cozy and small, balcony overlooks the rear of the other apartments on the block. Reminds me of WestSide story view.
