I cannot say enough wonderful things about Manuel and his delightful family and beautiful flat. First off, the location!!! Absolutely perfect spot directly overlooking Sao Bento station with an enormous balcony to watch life go by over morning coffee. Despite it’s central location, the flat was surprisingly quiet, and the blackout drapes worked wonderfully for me to sleep off my jet lag. Everything in the entire place was sparkling clean and in excellent condition. The bed was firm but comfortable, and the pillows were some of the best I’ve encountered at any Airbnb stay. But perhaps the most appreciated part of this stat was the care taken by Manuel’s family. Jet lagged and disoriented (and sans Wi-Fi), Manuel’s son (Mario?) met me on the street to escort me to the flat and him and his mother gave me a thorough tour of the home, and took the extra time to recommend some good restaurants in the city. THANK YOU all for an absolutely delightful and comfortable stay in your lovely home.
