Raquel is a very communicative host who is easy to reach. Her place is gorgeous, clean, and in a very centrally located part of town close to the Metro, cafes, and the beautiful boulevard Liberdade. Don't be alarmed by the nearby construction; we slept with the windows open and didn't hear any noise at all from the construction site! Access to the building via the keypad was very simple, and leaving the building by unlocking the outer door via the button on the wall made things quite simple. The building feels very secure with automatically locking doors. There's also a lovely view of the neighboring building's facade across the street with its beautiful tile work. Would definitely stay here again, or at any of Raquel's properties, as she's an excellent and thoughtful host.
