I took an Uber from the airport and Rodrigo met me on time. I am in my 70s, fair health and traveling alone, so I was very appreciative of his help carrying my carry-on size suitcase up the two narrow flights of stairs ( street level here is zero). He cheerfully took time to explain the apartment details to me in English. I arrived during a cold and rainy March and was worried about enough heat but the portable heater worked perfectly and there was an extra comforter. Actually everything about the apartment was perfect for me. lots of windows with insulated shutters, large bathroom, good size kitchen area and table with everything I could need as well as a couch, a TV, and I think a radio or music player. at night it was quiet and I felt quite secure and my little bedroom. I went in and out of the apartment often and the stairs are well lit and were not a problem.
The neighborhood was great. It's an older neighborhood with narrow twisty streets and pedestrian alleys. My navigator app struggled! It's not a touristy area but there are lots of small shops and places to eat. I didn't know it was so hilly so my legs got quite a workout but there are plenty of lovely little places to take a break in. It may be an old area but it was very clean everywhere. Lots of people walking dogs but I saw no poop anywhere and almost no barking.
I can go on and on, but if you want to clean, not too small, well equiped apartment in an old and very much alive neighborhood. this place is perfect.
Thanks to Cue and Rodrigo for being so helpful, quick to respond, and providing clear instructions.
