Our stay at Vasco’s place was pleasant.
The bed was comfortable. There is plenty of space in the living area, a TV (Netflix is available) and there is a nice closet for clothing. Vasco is charming and very knowledgeable about the area and city. There is a grocery store just across the street, banks, and a wonderful café down the block that are very convenient. It’s on a bus line and a block from the train. A five minute walk to the University.
Being older folks, we weren’t that happy with some of the nature of the flooring which is designed with “metal lips” after just entering the apartment, and unevenness to the bathroom. These make it easy to trip. And the shower is a bit inconvenient, yet good shower head and hot water. There is no place to put soap, shampoo, etc. (Buy one or pack a Caddy). Since we weren’t there that long, it didn’t bother us too much. The towels were adequate. It would have been nice to have at least one more each. BTW, Use Ubers if you want to travel 15 minutes or more to see sites, malls, or nifty restaurants b/c they are less expensive than taxis. But a Taxi stand is across the street.
