The apartment of Gilberto is exactly as in the pictures. The neighborhood is friendly and always many people in the streets. We did feel safe in the area throughout our whole stay.
The communication with Gilberto and his hospitality was extraordinary: we arrived in the morning and could already go to the apartment before the usual check-in time.
Only downside from our perspective is the distance to the next metro station (because it‘s aneasy way to get around the city).
