Rodrigo's place is beautiful. It's so well done and has a very welcoming feel.
The location is great for getting the train from, but if you get an Uber or drive, there are some one way streets that navigation software tries to send you up. You may want to head for 'Restaurant Marta' then walk or drive up and around.
Parede itself is nice, very residential and quiet.
The apartment has everything you would need and more. We had some trouble getting the Wii console working, but Rodrigo is extremely responsive to messages so it was sorted out in no time at all. having a cupboard full of toys is a really nice addition too.
Due to the weather, we didn't get to make full use of the outside space, but again, it is just gorgeous, very well equipped and aesthetically pleasing too.
Rodrigo and his family are very welcoming and clearly place their guests' comfort high up in their list of priorities. I would have no hesitations about staying here again.
