Comfortable with each other

How do you translate the following sentence into Spanish?
"I want a friendship where we can both be comfortable with each other.”
My attempt is:
Quiero una amistad en la que ambos podamos estar cómodos el uno al otro
Is this the correct translation? Or is there a better one that the natives would use? Also, can there be any regional variations in how “each other” is translated in this context?

Casi correcto. Se dice "el uno con el otro".

What if I had to say, “We are learning from each other”? - amitsch, Mar 15, 2014
Sería "Aprendemos el uno del otro" - tiquismiquis, Mar 16, 2014

A spinoff question:
Could you change "ambos podamos" to "nos podamos" making it reflexive and drop the "el uno con el otro"?
Ambos podamos sounds ackward to me.

Which country are you from? I am asking this because I want to understand if that construct is awkward/unnatural to a particular dialect of Spanish or all of them throughout. - amitsch, Mar 15, 2014
I am not a native speaker, but I live have lived in Mexico for six years. It just sounds odd to use ambos/both in this context. But I quess in English we do say "both of us". That is why I phrased it as a question. - gringojrf, Mar 15, 2014
Ambos es correcto. Ambos siempre hace referencia a 2 (personas, animales o cosas) - tiquismiquis, Mar 16, 2014
