Here's the thing---everything within Miguel's control was awesome. Communication, cleanliness, flexibility, amenities, bonus bottle of wine; everything was so great.

The part OUT of Miguel's control, though---the surrounding neighborhood---left a bit to be desired. (But, again, that's not his fault, and the apartment itself is great. Just remember that.) For the ten days we were there, we had your run-of-the-mill rambunctious neighbors, parties in the street, police sirens, etc., but the real cherry on top was when a couple people broke into the terrace on my last night at the property. Granted, I could have misunderstood the guard's Portuguese, but I'm *pretty* sure that's what happened. And I definitely heard the ear-splitting alarm going off at 3 in the morning. And the pieces of pipes that had fallen off the wall where they'd climbed or whatever.

Anyway, kind of torn about leaving that review because on the one hand, I feel like people deserve to know the neighborhood's ambiance, but on the other hand, Miguel (and Ines, and the cleaning staff, etc) were so friendly and helpful. And the place itself was great.
