Pina’s place is perfect if you want to be out of the central attraction. It was a good 30 minute walk until you were in the tourist hub. Uber was especially expensive so be prepared to spend a lot of money to avoid the walk. If you plan to take public transit like the train or metro then it’s perfect for you since she lives very close to the train station. Pina’s apartment is lovely, spacious, and clean! She even left us goodies for breakfast including homemade jam, even a bottle of wine. We were even able to wash our clothes (who doesn’t love a washer machine!). My only issue was the front door lock which was a bit tricky. Pina is a lovely and gracious host! Highly recommend if you want to be close to the train station.
