This is the best experience I've ever had with AirBNB!!!! Fabio met us at check in and showed us everything. He doesn't speak much English, but he brought a friend along who does. Together, they sat with us and answered every question we had about public transit (use it), interesting places to visit, nighttime hot spots, and areas to avoid. The apartment is roomy and clean and awesome. AIR CONDITIONING was a big plus too! We even saw Fabio walking down the street later on. He met us with a big smile and even introduced us to his father. I have nothing but praise for this host!
