We were greeted by a friend of Frederico's who brought us to the apartment and showed us all of the things we needed to know. The neighborhood was extremely interesting and had very interesting history Federico also had our room of passes in the apartment for when we arrived it was one less thing to figure out . It was a great location and had many interesting things and restaurants right at your front door However there are very steep steps going up to the apartment which make it hard on people with bad knees, seniors or mobility issues
