Our stay at Gil's place was good! The neighborhood is beautiful, calm and still central and the view of out of the apartment is impressive. It's a great place if you are out and about a lot and want a nice, comfortable place to sleep. Note that there is no kitchen use included (which is communicated very well by the hosts), so that it's not too suited for spending a lot of time in the apartment. I still recommend this place for anyone who wants to visit and the beautiful neighborhood of Lapa/Santos!
