The first day we arrived our host Phillipe gave us tips on how to use public transportation to get to all the tourist attraction, which metro lines to take, what time the attractions closed and gave us a map to we could follow his recommendations. Their hospitality was above and beyond! There was a rain storm one night and the windows leaked a little but they stocked the apartment with enough spare towels for us to handle it on our own. Overall, no complaints! Highly recommend!
