Isabel was a wonderful host! Everything went smoothly, and she gave us plenty of information about the neighbourhood and its restaurants. We really got the feeling that Isabel is interested in her guests' well-being. The apartment itself is spotless and tastefully decorated with many nice details for the traveller, eg. hairdryer and iron. The place seems to be recently renovated and has a well equipped kitchen area and a good shower. The location is very good, just a few streets from the Santa Catarina viewpoint, but in a peaceful residential area. Having said that, I do have to add that since it's an old house and the apartment is on street level, you do need your earplugs if you're a light sleeper like me. The main room (living/sleeping) isn't too big either, but it's ok for 2 people who plan to be out exploring the city most of the time anyway.
