The flat is clean and bright, laid out in a "shotgun" style. Buses run frequently, and the lines are extensive, so it's easy to get around -- even at night after a show. Furnishings are new but a little sparse (e.g., there aren't many drawers for clothing). We wished there were a few more amenities, such as a clothes dryer and dishwasher, but our stay was perfectly comfortable. The neighborhood is safe, although there was always a little street noise. There are also lots of small, independent shops nearby from which to buy groceries, beer/wine, etc.
