Tiago was a great host! He meets you at the apartment and gives you the run down on the apartment and the local area. He answered his emails and phone calls very promptly. The apartment is as it appears in the pictures.
The location is convenient for restaurants, grocery stores, ATM's, and the metro. The one draw back to the location is that you have to take the metro if you want to go to any of the popular tourist sites, however it is a short walk to the metro. The apartment is on a busy street, however the shutters on the windows help to muffle the noise.
