Our short weekend stay at Pedro's place was perfect for what we were looking for: close to touristy neighbourhoods and nightlife but quiet and authentic. The apartment is beautiful and cozy with art and objects that add so much style and personalisation (I've seen too many sterile AirBNBs furnished with the bare minimum Ikea stuff). Very comfortable bed. We didn't touch a thing in the kitchen because we were out the whole time but it was well equipped and cozy for cooking. Checkin was smooth with Pedro's friend José (we didn't meet Pedro but he was very communicative and friendly via email), who was patiently waiting an extra hour for us due to a flight delay. We arrived Valentines evening and Pedro suggested the perfect restaurant: Santelmo - steps away from the apartment. Friendly and affordable, unpretentious with the best grilled tuna of my life (no kidding). Lovely natural light in the apartment and nice views - we appreciated being so close to Mais do Sodré for getting to and from the airport by metro. Thanks to José for giving us the great tip for the lockers to store our bags while we explored the day of our departure. I found the cleaning fee a bit high but this is one of my best Airbnb experiences ever.
