The apartment is in the middle of a neighborhood. It is an older apartment with some updates to the kitchen counter tops and bathroom sink. It is close to the bus or metro but you do have to walk. A taxi would have probably been the most wise choice to get to the airport which we didn't do. The apartment was clean and the beds were comfortable. There is only one small air conditioner in the den so the bedrooms aren't that cool. Maria Jose was very kind to leave lots of snacks and items for breakfast along with Nespresso pods for coffee. We didn't find markets or many restaurants near by. It is fine for a night needing to be close to the airport if air conditioning isn't a priority. We did hear some noise from the street.
