Mi Barrio

I live in a mostly residential neighborhood in Bogota called Nicolas de Federman.  I live in a four story apartment building on a very busy street directly across from the Universidad Nacional.  The apartment is pretty big (3 bedrooms) and even though it is old and not very noise resistant, it has a lot of charm:
My room

The Kitchen

The living room/dinning room

The bridge leading to the Univ. Nacional

The view from my room


Of note, in Bogota, most apartments are designed so that the bottom floor serves as a locked garage, where the residents park their cars.  In my building we also have a "portera," who is a woman who takes care of the building, and is in charge of locking and unlocking the garage gate and the main building door for residents and visitors.  She controls who can and can't gain entry into the building without a key.
