Rene's apartment is very spacious and wonderfully decorated with photos and articles from his travels. Each of the 3 bedrooms has an updated ensuite bath, the kitchen has everything you could need and more, and there is a lovely terrace out back. The location is great--there is a fantastic grocery store just around the block and there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and stores within walking distance. Rene was always very responsive and Joao was there to greet us and give us a tour of the apartment. I would definitely stay there again and can't recommend it highly enough.
