We had a great time at Marilia's place. The communication was super easy and quick. She kindly provided us the way we reached the apartment and suggested information for our transportation when we wanted to depart. The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures. The neighborhood outside the apartment had a lot of life within walking distance. However, it was very quiet when you were in the loft. The apartment was within 15 min walking distance (with a very good and crowded way) of some tourist attractions, and it was close to water bus stations to get you to the ones further away. Would absolutely recommend staying there!
