About a 12 min walk but worth it for not just great coffee but also common artisanal goods for the home. My favorite coffee shop BUT there is also many great coffee spots closer to the apartment as well.

Ukuzulazula
Walking and the Subway is the best way to explore!
In less than 10 min walking you have access to the following train lines:
1-A-C-E-B-D-F-M
I Suggest Google Maps for getting around as it gives very specific and intuitive direction on which trains to take, where to get on and off, etc...
But walking around the neighborhood is my best advice for seeing the west village specifically!
