Eduardo (Viviane's brother) is an amazing host, very friendly and helpful. Everything in the apartment works as described, including the internet connection (very important service that is usually terrible and/or very expensive at hotels). The neighborhood is really nice, you have several options of restaurants, supermarkets, drugstores. Only two blocks from the beach! It is also very close to a subway station. It can get a little bit noisy during weekdays, but nothing major, most of the time it is a quiet street. We had had a wonderful stay and we will hopefully come back!
