If this apartment is available and you want to be in the center of the action, don't hesitate to book. You will not be disappointed on any level. All the comments about it being very quiet are true. I'm extremely sensitive to noise and this apartment was absolutely silent day and night even though there is often a lot of noise just outside the front door at times. The noise is kids playing in the park and lots of people chatting over drinks, but this noise doesn't reach the apartment. There is no traffic noise as the closest street is a block away with very little traffic. The AC works great and the Internet is fast and solid. Andres is one of the best hosts I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He will always go above and beyond the call of duty no matter the request. I had some very difficult requests regarding a scent-free environment and Andres did everything possible and more to make sure things were perfect. There is an organic grocery store two blocks away and almost all the tourist attractions are walking distance. The zoo requires a trip on the metro but is worth it. Go to Tribunal metro station which is 4 blocks away. Again, if you're trying to decide between all the available apartments, forget the ones with a balcony. You don't need a balcony. You'll be outside enough that when you get back to the apartment you'll be happy to be in your private oasis in the middle of the city. Amazing. I would stay again without hesitation. 5 STAR!
