This studio apartment was such a lovely welcome to the area! The location was perfectly located in Santa Catarina near the subway station and the arboretum. The apartment itself was beautiful and comfortable, and enjoying the morning/afternoon light in the room and on the balcony was a highlight of the trip. Cynthia was very welcoming and accommodating, making checkin and checkout very straightforward. Unfortunately, we did experience some ants entering the apartment during the stay despite not keeping any food out of the fridge, but that seems to be a seasonal problem in the area and Cynthia says she is working to address the problem in the apartment and in her own home. All in all I would love to stay here again.
