The apartment was just as pictured and the listing was accurate. We had a great time and were comfortable.

The location was better than we originally thought. Flooded with great restaurants. Transportation was very easy accessible; the Callao Metro stop is right there in the plaza, and a few other stops a couple minutes walk. The wifi was fast. The building was safe and clean. As is with all the better plazas; there are people hanging out, passing though, and street performers/vendors till the wee hours of the morning. Bring a white noise app. The hot water ran out quick so take short showers or spread them out. The Washer/Dryer is a 2 in 1 and didn't seem to completely dry clothes so we had to lay out for an hour or two which wasn't a big deal. There are at least 4 cafes within a few steps of your door. I would completely recommend getting a treat togo and taking advantage of the K-Cup coffee maker in the apartment. Then sitting at the dinning table with the windows open at anytime of the day. The neighborhood is safe. We didn't know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised and I felt comfortable with my wife and sister walking to nearby plazas. There were police on every corner almost all the time. The book Alicia provided was full of good recommendations.

We walked to almost every major attraction in the city with ease. Including the Reitro Park and a few markets that were in the North of the city. Take one route there and another route back to wherever you go and you will discover so many great little shops. The Opera house, Palace, Sol Plaza, and a few of the big markets are just 5-10 minutes away. If your staying more than a few days and are in the market for a gym; the one we used is called Arian just a few minutes SW of the apartment and there are a few better ones a little further away that we discovered later on. There are two El Corte Igles stores near the Apartment that we went to often. The one located just a few steps from the APT is like a Whole Foods/Macy's/ Sporting Goods combo with the top floor housing a bunch of really good restaurants and a view of the city.

Thanks Alicia!
