Silvina was a grand hostess in all respects and went out of her way to help us retrieve an important item left in the taxi we took from airport to Berlinda House. Silvina has equipped the flat with just about everything a guest might need and the welcome wine and other snacks were a nice surprise. The flat was clean and comfortable with homey elements and location in Belem allowed us to walk and easily use various public transit to visit many museums, monuments, gardens and seaside towns. We also enjoyed close proximity of the riverfront for leisurely walks. There was a good choice of cafes and restaurants nearby.
