I have now stayed in Mario and Sonia's apartment on two occasions. The apartment is great! It is located on a quiet street but still very close to the beach and all services such as restaurants, cafes, grocery stores, metro etc. It was clean. The bed was great and the bathroom very fresh with a spacious shower. Wi-Fi worked great. When I got to the apartment, there was both water and guaraná in the fridge and some goodies on the kitchen table. I really appreciated that gesture! I also received a list of places where I could have breakfast, lunch and dinner.
In terms of communication, everything was smooth. I always got answers quickly when I asked about something. I am very grateful for the flexibility with check-in and check-out. I also got help to post some postcards the day after I traveled home to Sweden. Because all post offices were closed the day I left. A big thank you for that!
Mario helped me with the luggage both at check-in and check-out. To summarize, I had a great time in the apartment! I can warmly recommend Mario and Sonia as hosts and their apartment.
