Flavia's apartment was much larger than what I was expecting. Pictures don't do it justice. The neighborhood is great and within walking distance of a lot of shops, restaurants, transportation, and pharmacies. We had everything we needed in this location. We felt very very safe in this area too. Flavia was a great host and always kept in contact. She provided us with all the material we needed-- maps of the city, a metro card, wifi information, and even a lockbox which was a nice surprise!
