Ricardo is a fantastic host! He was very responsive to our needs and questions, and radiates warmth. As for the flat - as a digital nomad who stayed for over a month, we found the place generally met our needs but also had some tradeoffs we weren't expecting. Pros: It has a stocked kitchen. Great wifi. Tons of space. Super cool neighborhood. But is directly above a bar (loud). Water pressure isn't great, and place is generally warn.
