This apartment is located in a very safe and quiet neighborhood. It is right next to shopping rio sul where you can find a bunch of restaurants and stores for whatever your needs are. The kitchen is equipt with items to prepare simple meals... i would say it is only missing a few things to make it a fully functioning kitchen for someone who enjoys cooking at home. There was a bit of construction next door that had me awake early but that is out of the Host's control and should be over soon. Overall, I enjoyed y stay here and even tried to extend it. Thank you guys for being effecient and organized.
