Ingrid's apartment is conveniently located, small but clean. The neighborhood is quiet and there is an excellent laundromat (Lava Neve) operated by a French lady two blocks away. If your French is better than your Portuguese, this makes communication easy. There are lots of restaurants within a 10-15 min walk.
The apartment ha a tankless hot water heater whose pilot light must be ignited before showering. This is a convenient and inexpensive place for one person, but too small for a couple or a family. Ingrid was out of town during my stay and I was given access by her friend. She messaged me after my arrival to confirm all was well.
