I could not have chosen a better place to stay. Located right in the middle of the city, you have access to almost everything. Very safe neighborhood, you are located at walking distance to the mall (Plaza Central) and a five (5) minutes walk to the supermarket (Nacional).The apartment was as described with a great balcony, great place to chill on top of the building. I definitely recommend it if your plan is to stay right in the city. And from the moment I signed up to get the unit, the owner contacted me right away and stayed in touch for everything I ever needed, including recommendation for a driver (great guy), places to go, to visit and continued to stay in touch even after our trip ended. And I must say one of my favorite thing was the book left in the unit for us with all the phone numbers you might need from ordering food to security downstairs. Also the safe in the room was for me the peace of mind I needed to keep my passport and other items. Oh yes it is a very secure place with security guard at the lobby. Definitely a good choice if you're want to stay in the Piantini area. Thank you so much for all your help and accomodations Mildred.
