This was a fantastic stay! The apartment is spacious and clean. At first glance I was afraid we were too far off the city center path, but the metro is only 3 blocks and can take one anywhere in minutes. There is some street noise when windows are open in living room where windows face, but it quickly became white noise and the windows do seal out most all sound. The bedroom windows face the building interior, so they are very quiet. The immediate neighborhood was awesome—a little coffee/drink/food bar downstairs, Lebanese food next door, 3 bakeries near and Honest Greens on same street. Best tapas bar is 1/2 block away…29 Fanegas!!! I could continue…it was actually more fun to be in a local neighborhood and away from the constant stream of tourists. Excellent place to stay!
