Maria's apartment is amazing! Beautiful, in central location, walkable and close to public transportation. But what I loved more than the nice, clean, big apartment, is the kindness of Maria and her sister. They both met me at the door, welcomed me and treated me like a family. I felt like I was coming to a family member's house. They were so kind, caring and very helpful. Maria was so responsive and answered all the questions I had and was always available to help when I needed it. If not for the apartment, stay for the hosts. They are such lovely people.
Speaking of the apartment, it was absolutely amazing as well. Super clean with every and all the amenities you can think of and need in a house. On top of that it was pretty central, close to pedra dul sal and near the metro, tram and buses.
I highly recommend staying at their apartment. Thank you again Maria and Zaza. Hope to be back soon :)
