This room and apartment was fantastic, and Carlos was a very helpful and generous host. He met me when I checked in, gave me a temporary sim card to use so that I could immediately begin receiving and making phone calls, gave me a metro pass so I could start using the metro, a map, and helpful tips for tourism and advice on where to go, as well as directions to any place in the city. He was full of practical advice and information about the city. He was even able to accommodate me for an extra five days at the last minute, despite having to take extra steps and more work for him to accommodate my needs. The room was private and comfortable, in an apartment with a few other rooms. The other guests were very sweet and I met some friends while here. The location is central to everything, and the neighborhood is safe but still lively. It is near a beautiful park and right by the metro station, accessible to nightlife only ten minutes away by metro or taxi. There is plenty of space to store everything, and a kitchen fully equipped with everything you could need. I would highly recommend this apartment to anyone for a short to long term stay. Both Carlos and Oliveira are very responsive to any questions and inquiries and I felt taken care of from the moment I booked the reservation until I left for my new apartment. Thank you!
