Pros:
- Alexandre was a great host. Very communicative. Stocked the apartment with juice and water, gave us a map and a portable wifi device. Very hospitable and went the extra mile.
- The apartment is in an outstanding location. Great food immediately nearby, walking distance to all tourist destinations of interest.
- Clean and quiet, except for one night (see below)

Cons:
- On our first night (a Friday) the neighbors threw a loud party until 6am. Yes, 6am. Made it very hard to fix our jet lag. Also, the party's guests kept confusing the apartments, so they would knock on our door and ring the doorbell repeatedly in the middle of the night, and each time we'd have to get up and yell at them to go away. Finally we put signs on the door and doorbell to say "the party is not here, do not knock." They stopped, but the music did not.
- I had some mildly allergic reaction to something in the apartment -- maybe the cleaning products. Was a little sneezy/sniffly while at home.
