Frederico's apartment was perfect. It was clean, spacious and had all the comforts of home. Having an outdoor dining space on the rooftop terrace allowed us to enjoy the evenings with our market treats and wine we picked up during our day of exploring. The street was nosy due to the traffic and garbage collection but that is no reflection on the apartment. The walk to the apartment seemed scary at first but we soon realized we were in a safe neighbourhood. We were close to the subway which we used a couple of times but we were more fascinated with the walks through the neigbourhoods and the local atmosphere. We walked to the Collesum every day and began our day. The extra's Federico included were special (wine, tourist maps, books, local recommendations, fresh clean towels). There was no elevator so be prepared to walk the stairs. But once you get there, you'll be happy. I highly recommend this apartment!
