Luis’s place is very clean and well maintained. It has murals painted by the host himself! The building is in a safe and accessible neighborhood. I didn’t get a chance to meet Luis due to scheduling conflicts, however Luis’s sister and her kids welcomed me home and they were an absolute delight. It’s a tastefully decorated apartment and I enjoyed my stay. Bear in mind that if you are staying for long periods of time - the unit has no washer and that might be an issue if you need laundry on premises. There is also a bar/eatery at the base of the building and that makes it harder to have quieter evenings esp on Thu/Fri/Sat, but that is not something the host can do much about. Overall, it’s a lovely and cosy place and is close to everything - subway, supermarket, restaurants and is not very far from the Baixa(downtown) area.
