We got completely lost in the tiny streets with similar names and were an hour late! Nonetheless, Phillipe came back to the apartment to meet us, and was super helpful with all sorts of maps and recommendations. The apartment is a charming blend of a working-class neighborhood and IKEA accouterments. It was fun learning to use the French coffee press. It was an easy 10 minute walk either up or down Santa Catarina street to a metro station. We especially enjoyed sitting in the little park in front of the apartment.
