I have been living in Gabriel's place for 4 weeks and the stay was amazing.
The apartment itself is spacious and renovated (with new AC) and super clean as on the photos, and it's close to the beach, (I would say 150 meters) - Beach has a perfect calisthenics park for those into street workout on the beach.
I can only recommend this stay, also the location of the apartment is close to the shops, restaurants and clubs, and at the same time it's a calm neighborhood during the night.
And of course, Gabriel is an amazing host who cares that you really enjoy the stay in his apartment.
