Loved Rafael’s place! It’s a great location, only 10mins walk to center of historic district, but just away from the crowds so we felt like a local, and plenty of amazing restaurants within a 2min walk from our door. The gardens were AMAZING, I spent a few hours each day enjoying my morning coffee or an afternoon cocktail and unwinding from a day of sightseeing. Due to the time of year and the humid weather there were mosquitos of course, but Rafael thought of everything and had citronella candles and mosquito spray so they didn’t bother me when I was outside.
The apartment has everything you would need for 2-3 people, it was compact, but was nicely renovated and we felt very comfortable. The bed was very good, not too hard.
Check in was easy and Rafael had left some waters, beers and milk in the fridge which was very thoughtful. The smart TVs with Netflix was also a great bonus.
Would highly recommend this great apartment!
