City trips can be fun but also frustrating and exhausting, what with all the big crowds and noise. Ricardo's house makes it possible to have it both ways: you'll be staying in a beautiful house in what seems like a quiet provincial village, while at the same time you will be only steps away from a street with many cafés and restaurants, a supermarket, public transport, and some of the city's main sights. The center is only 30 mins away by tram or bus. On top of that, Ricardo is a gracious and knowledgeable host. This really is AirBnB at its very best: the house offers an experience that would be very hard to come by from regular hotels.
