Ricardo’s place is very rustic and that worked for us. It is right around the corner from the famous stairs and close to excellent restaurants and St. Teresa. Note: getting there requires a very cooperative Uber driver who is willing to travel uphill on a cobblestone street. Daily, you will have to walk up and down steep stairs to get to the house. Until late at night, the street below the main open wall is full of noise, especially singing and celebrating and mostly on weekends. The neighborhood felt very safe - it’s on a sleepy dead end and the stairs are likely a deterrent for trouble. Ricardo was very responsive, especially when the water stopped working due to a pump issue. Expect no walls on one side and large, sliding windows on another - that’s the side that the monkeys visit! Though this was rustic, it felt comfortable. And, as one reviewer wrote, it would not take much for this beautiful home to be even better. I’d definitely stay here again. Thanks Ricardo.
