The location could not have been better! Yet, despite its proximity to "all", the apartment itself was quiet and cozy. The apartment has everything you need to be comfortable. We were there two weeks and it felt like home. There is a small grocery store literally three minutes from the place. Croissants, and baguettes for .45 cents are made fresh everyday. The Mexican restaurant next door opened all day and was always cool inside despite the heat outside. Perfect when we were hungry and did not want to go anywhere. The cocktail bar Sambhad one door away from the apartment was amazing for cocktails and beer after 4. Finally, Sonia was very attentive and responded to us immediately by mail. Checking in was so easy... Sonia's' friend met us at the corner and gave us a brief tour of the apartment. Shopping is all around and public transportation too. The red tour bus, which we took the second day, stops by the apartment which was great.
When we first arrived from the airport, the taxi driver dropped us off by the apt but could not enter the little street because cars are not allowed. Rather than panic, like we did, simply walk toward the cocktail bar Sambhad (less than 1 min) and the door next to it, is the one.
