Rita and Laura were great hosts. All communications/suggestions were clear and very well thought out. Apartment exceeded our expectations - extremely clean, spacious and the views from the windows were incredible. Location was the key - close to metro and walking distance to anything in the center of the city. Little square (200 feet from the apartment) near Carmo Convent was very charming and a great way to finish off the day by sitting in one of the cafes, having a drink and listening to live performers.
