Very much enjoyed the apartment!!! The decor and furnishings are fun and comfortable (let me show my age and describe it as having a 'cool vibe) and has a very light and airy feel .. the place had everything you could want for a comfortable stay (including the medical necessities of a great hot shower and coffee in the morning :) ... location is a nice walk to all the major places/neighborhoods if you like walking; taxis and ubers are also quite easy if you're not a walker ... we ate at two restaurants -- Santa Bica (great rooftop dining about four blocks away) and Versiculo do Faia about two blocks away (we ate at tables on the street which made for great people watching in addition to the excellent food) -- and I had the sense one could eat for a month and get great food every night at a different restaurant within a ten block radius (and oh yes, there is a vegan buffet two blocks up that was great for lunch, and we're not vegans, not even vegetarians) ... David also has worked out a discount with a cute little breakfast/lunch place downstairs, The Oz, which was charming (both the place and workers) and a great place to start the day with ... it is a very busy area with shops and restaurants and there are bars in the immediate area that draw big crowds, but to my amazement the super high-quality windows (they are like hurricane proof windows in Miami where I come from) block out 99% of the street noise when you close them -- we slept with a fan on and got great night sleeps (there also is an a/c split for when it gets really hot) ... David was great and easy to work with, access to the apartment was a breeze and I felt very safe ... only thing I'd note is that the apartment we were in was three stories up so one does have to be able to climb stairs (payoff is neat views out over the surrounding neighborhood) ... in short, HIGHLY recommend -- such a unique and cool place with a wonderful owner ...
