Ana (and Gloria) were OUTSTANDING. Their place is AMAZING!

They made us feel extremely welcome from beginning to end. As soon as we booked they sent us warm and welcoming messages, helpful information, and made us feel confident about our booking. Gloria was at the apartment to receive us on the morning we arrived. They were gracious enough to accommodate us for an early check in since our flight arrived at 9 AM.

The apartment itself is exactly as advertised. Very clean, chic, modern, and comfortable. The WIFI was fast and available everywhere in the apartment. The kitchen is updated and fully equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, oven, microwave, coffee maker, for all your home kitchen needs. Many appliances and accessories are available. The bathroom is very luxurious. There was plenty of soap, shampoo/conditioner/etc, as well as toilet paper for our entire stay. We particularly enjoyed the dual shower head feature. There is air conditioning available but we didn't end up needing it.

Gloria and Ana have many helpful guides/maps and brochures available for us to use in case we needed to do any impromptu planning. Gloria spent about 30 minutes talking to us when we arrived helping us plan and giving us all kinds of amazing suggestions on how to carry out our plans. I'd highly recommend getting delicious pastries at "Nacional", a bica at Cafe Suissa, and having a nice dinner at "Sem Maneiras".

Check out was as easy as check in. Throughout our stay
both Ana and Gloria were available and approachable via whatsap at a moment's notice to answer questions or offer advice.

Some aspects to keep in mind: if you rent a car, parking will be at a nearby (3-4 min walk, very close) supermarket and will cost $20/day; the apartment is on the top floor and no elevator, so if you have lots of bags, it's something to consider. We had no problems with this, but these are simply points to consider.
