The apt. Is a great value, with everything you need in a small space. Access to washer (in the hallway) was much appreciated. All was clean, with thoughtful touches. Bring earplugs! Some nights are quiet, others may include a birthday party or just loud neighbors somewhere off the air shaft that the apts are arranged around. Overall a very pleasant way for budget minded travelers to stay in a big city.
Chinese restaurants in the neighborhood are one of the best places to get vegetables, which seem to be sorely missing from most SPANISH restaurants.
