Tiago's apartment was *exactly* as pictured! While the space and location were amazing on their own merit (supermarket right down the block, plenty of restaurants within walking distance), it was Tiago's communication that stood out. When I had difficulty locating the key, Tiago wasted no time in replying (a few times, as I was having a rough go at it!) until I was in the apartment.
Just a note - it does get a bit quiet a night. While this suited our needs (and cabs were extremely affordable to get to and from other neighborhoods), just be aware should you want a neighborhood with more bustle at night.
Everything worked perfectly, and sitting on the balcony sipping coffee in the AM, wine in the PM while overlooking the streets and river was phenomenal. Thank you, Tiago!
