Stay here if you want the kindest and most considerate host! Marcelo took us for a walk around the neighborhood and made sure we knew where everything was (and gave us a map). He was great at answering questions during and before our stay. The apartment is adorable and well stocked for an airbnb. The neighborhood and building were very safe (24 hr security). The apartment is located literally 2 blocks from the beach and away from much of the tourist bustle. It was quiet (for a city apartment) and has a pretty view of the tropical trees in the back. Electronics and internet worked great. There is a filtered water system next to the sink. We used the washing machine and that worked great too. A great place to feel more local and less touristy, but still close to everything. It is close to the beach Post 2 where you can get a bus for Corvocado (Christ the Redeemer).
