Vanessa's place is very well-located for exploring the city. Comfortable bed and clean apartment. It is such a beautiful, spacious and BIG apartment - so lovely to come home to rest there during our stay!!! Close to public transport and has great, affordable restaurants nearby - must try the Tiboa restaurant - serving great Turkish falafels! Unfortunately we did not meet Vanessa as she was away for the weekend but her housemate Nathalia was lovely to interact with, although we would have preferred to get some more clarity on the house rules/facilities e.g. coffee and teas to use, washing machine, sensitive shower curtains. The house keys also gave us a problem and we were lucky enough to meet Frederico - another housemate - where we ended up sharing his keys.
