This is a reasonably priced loft close to transportation. There are a lot of great local shops nearby.
The house-man, Paulo, was a joy to meet. We immediately felt like we had a friend in the area who could help us with anything that we needed. Paulo took us on a short walking tour of the area, showing us where the metro was, where to get the best coffee in the morning, the meat-market, and the best gelato shop. He pointed out several local bars that would be broadcasting the Championship game if we wanted to join in the local atmosphere.
While showing us the apartment, Paulo did take the time to show us the breaker box(es) for the electricity and the water heater. That turned out to be fortunate, as the last evening of our stay, the entire block lost power for an hour or so.
The area seems to be in a renaissance, as several buildings in the area are under construction/upgrade. While no fault of the owner, expect the early morning (7 a.m.) construction teams to be present. We were up and out fairly early, and they were gone by the time we went home in the afternoon/evening.
Overall, it was a nice apartment/loft, with good amenities. Its location just two blocks of the new Line C was perfect.
