This is a beautiful apartment in a lively and fun neighborhood. It is close to everything and there is an amazing restaurant (Tandem) 2 blocks down Sta. Maria and a good Peruvian restaurant across the street. It is right off of Atoche, with taxies, buses, and the metro at your fingertips. We were there during the heat of summer and a taxi strike but the apartment's proximity made our stay very enjoyable. Ramon and Rafael are fabulous hosts, responding quickly to any need you might have. They make clear on their page that this is a four story walk-up so do be prepared (at least you get good exercise!). I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
