My stay at Pedro's place was great. As he lives downstairs, check-in and check-out times were very flexible. The pamphlet that he created for his guests is very helpful in providing suggested places to visit. He was very quick to respond to any questions and concerns.

As for the apartment, the location was AMAZING! It was easy to walk back from any of the local sites to the apartment to drop off bags, take a nap or grab an extra sweater or umbrella. The area is a short walk to the Metro, train, supermarket, restaurants, etc. Just a short 5 minute walk away is a fantastic restaurant that you must try: Fumeiro de Santa Catarina.

The apartment was very clean upon arrival and stocked with what you need for your stay (kettle, stove, hair dryer, heater...). True, the bedrooms have no windows. But for me, it was perfect as it kept the outside noise to a minimal. Each room as a small skylight to let in natural light.
