Nice apartment in a very lively area with every store you could possibly need nearby. Public transportation is cheap and a few steps away. The apartment was equipped with everything necessary, lots of linens and towels. André and Patricia stayed in contact via What'sapp throughout my visit and minor problems at the beginning of my 6 week stay were taken care of promptly (heater in living room was not working, could not figure out coffee maker, which was replaced promptly with another model). The living room faces a very busy street and can be a little noisy, bedrooms face interior courtyards and are very quiet after around 11:00 pm, when the neighbor turns of the TV. All in all I had a great 6 week stay and would certainly recommend André and Patricia's place.
