This was definitely a great place to stay. I was a bit afraid that my boyfriend would have said that he didn't want to stay again because the bathroom was not very big. His description was, it's only for a few nights so a small bathroom wasn't really a problem. We have the benefit of a great host and a quiet neighborhood with great food. He wants to come back and stay at Sylvia's again. She was very accommodating and made sure that we were happy with everything.
And although we did not get to see much of the neighborhood, we ate at the Brazilian resteraunt around the corner and had Ecuadorian food twice. Both very very good places to eat before heading off on the subway which is only a few blocks away. The only thing I would say to beware of on your stay, is not this apartment, the neighborhood or the local food, it would be the subway schedule change for the weekends. You don't know where the train is going until you get on and you wait for trains that aren't coming. So, either ask someone around that knows or hop on the first one that comes by and only then, you can see the weekend schedule. Other than that, you can't beat it. I slept awesome. I read so many stories about people staying in other noisy neighborhoods so I was nervous and there was no need to be. Thank you Sylvia.
