Alma Rosa II is an OK neighborhood, but one thing you should not do is to rent an apartment sight unseen. Wait until you actually go to the area, come back at night, and come back again on a Saturday night to see if you REALLY want to live anywhere. It might look OK the first time you see it, but coming back in the night, or on a weekend will reveal more about the neighborhood to you. Things like a colmado with blaring speakers close enough to your bedrooms that will keep you from sleeping, bad neighbors, lots of night traffic like guaguas or taxis taking shortcuts down your street, bad garbage collection i.e pickup only every 10 days, etc.
Also, if you are planning to work, will your job be on the west side of the river? If so, you will be facing a traffic jam every morning to get over the bridge if you leave much after 7 am every day, until normally 9 am or so. Same in the evenings returning.
Also, go visit a few potential neighbors, and ask them how the electricity is, the water, etc. That might reveal problems you do not want to live with on a daily basis.
