Ricardo's apartment was exactly as described- open floor plan, spacious rooms, and a great and safe location. There was plenty of room to hang out in the common areas which we enjoyed with our entire family. Ricardo was an excellent host and even went out of his way to get something that we needed- One of my family members needed an extra blanket and he went out of his way and bought one for us to use.
Additionally, the cleaning lady was so nice and attentive and not intrusive at all. Overall, a fantastic experience, I would highly recommend it! The only caveat would be that the hot water was not consistent but then again, we were eight people.
