Ricardo's place is tranquil, clean and spacious. The location is close to several restaurants and a weekend market (Wed and Sat), and there is supermarket and shopping malls nearby. The family is welcoming and quite often you will find the kitchen area joyful as a get-together place, or else if you want some quiet time the house is big and you can spare an afternoon in the garden or at the rooftop. The animals (dogs, cats, turtles) are definitely cute and happy to get pets, yet clever enough to not to disturb you. Oh there's a piano too if you would like some practice. Don't forget to check out the host's drawing class and I am going back for that!
