This was a perfect experience. Ricardo was very responsive and helpful from the moment I contacted him. The check in was with a friend, but I also had the chance to briefly meet Ricardo later at an art exhibit he had recommended. He also sent along a lot of useful information on restaurants and interesting places to go to. The apartment is really nice: comfortable and beautifully decorated. The area is lively and hip, and you are two minutes away from the Rato metro station. I fully recommend it!
