Our host, represented most excellently by Vanesse Vicente, was extremely helpful and friendly. She treated us as welcome friends of the family. The apartment was cheerful, modern and well equipped.
It had everything we needed to be comfortable for our two-week stay. We had a fully furnished kitchen, bath, living room with television, bedroom with drawers and closet space, and a web connection. It looked as good as the photos, and we enjoyed drinks in our sunny breezy patio every evening. It was a perfect place to relax after our daily excursions.
The location was conveniently close to public transportation, including the famous electric trams. It has a wonderful public market that serves excellent quality food and drinks from 9am to 11 pm and is only about 2 blocks away. There are also a selection of cafe/restaurants near the market with decent, honest meals and excellent pastries and coffee. After trying restaurants downtown, we ended up taking our meals near the apartment, due to the quality and price.
We definitely enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.
