Erasmo has a great sense of design and pride in his home. His one shortcoming was that he is still learning English and we had a few misunderstandings that created an uncomfortable atmosphere for us, but by the end of our week it was smoothed over. We are sure he will continue to improve both his English and the space.

When we booked the space, the photos showed a different room and home than what we arrived to find. He told us that Airbnb had come to take professional photos the year before and he had not yet updated the photos with the new space (upstairs and similar to the old one). This meant we had to do without the dining table, oven and a few other things. Throughout our one week stay, Erasmo added new appliances to the kitchen (coffee maker, microwave/convection oven), but there was no space to sit and eat for even two people. Nevertheless, the bathroom was updated and spacious and he provides nice, comfortable bedding.

We shared the apartment with 3 other rooms and our housemates were very pleasant to share with, but as is often the case, we ended up waiting on the toilet or shower when it was occupied.

The apartment is located near several local landmarks and public transportation and we enjoyed spending time in the area. We would recommend a stay in Erasmo’s place for the convenience and beautiful location.
