Livia could not have been more thorough in her communications and suggestions for what to do at her place and in the neighborhood. Greatly appreciated. Cristina, her neighbor, checked us and and was immensely helpful as well (and made us a delicious cake!). The place was great and the location fantastic. Close to lots of bars and restaurants, a block from the metro, a few blocks from the beach. And Christ the Redeemer visible out the window. We really enjoyed our stay.
