After a brief Uber ride from the airport, Osvaldo met us at the Ethnic Loft. He showed us all this usual bits around the apartment then took us to the 9 floor to give us a tour of the city. There is a gym, pool and bbq facilities up there too, but was a bit too cold to use them. With supermarkets and bottle shops very near by there is almost no need to go out. The bakery at the end of the road is great for stocking up on pastries and cakes.
The apartment has polished concrete floors so it was a little cold but Osvaldo supplied slippers and there are enough heaters and blankets to keep you very toasty.
Also, not apartment related but credit needs to be given to Osvaldo anyway, my partner left very important medication in Australia and had it express posted to Ethnic Loft where it was collected by Osvaldo and placed inside on the kitchen bench. He was very understanding and happy to help. Even said if the meds didn’t arrive in time would try and organise doctor/hospital visits to get it sorted. So a massive thanks for that!
We have travelled extensively around the world in the AirBnB community and Osvaldo was by far the best we have come across.
