When we arrived at the apartment Luis wasn't able to meet us, but his friendly house keeper was there to let us in. The apartment looked exactly like the photos and is very very spacious! It's in a very quiet neighborhood a bit off the beaten path, but it's a pretty quick commute to the city center. Not far from the apartment are some shops, restaurants and full size grocery store. Since the apartment is so big and has a fully equip kitchen, we decided to cook several meals there to save some money. There's even a great restaurant up the street that sells Brazilian style chicken, ribs and other delicious meats and sides to go.
