We were welcomed by her friend Carlos who even helped us carrying our luggage into the apartment. We had not expected that we have to climb a steep street to get to the house, which was not very easy in the heat. The room was good but the tram was very noisy in the mornings. We met Mariana on the second day and she went on vacation after a few days. She was very helpful and recommended a few places to visit. The apartment is located near the metro station of Restauradores and you can easily walk to the main shops and the shore which is 20 min of walking distance.
