Maria and her granddaughter, Inês, were lovely, responsive hosts, and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in their simple, comfortable apartment. It features a comfy bed, good shower, great wifi, and a well-stocked kitchen with everything I needed to prepare meals--a welcome change from many of the bare bones kitchens I've stayed in over the years. It's also located steps away from the subway, and I was able to get everywhere easily and cheaply.
