The location is great, walking distance to everything (Prado - 15-20 minutes). There are McDonald's (across the street, with WiFi), two chinese restauratns, and one Indian restaurant in the same building. The apartment is interior, two bedrooms have no windows, but there is no street noise. It may use a fresh coat of paint. The biggest problem was that for almost two hours we couldn't reach the host, even though I gave him our ETA, and our flight info. I left several voice messages, and sent several e-mails. After an hour of calling I finaly got to talk to Renan. He said he'd be there. 15 minutes later someone else showed up and gave us the key. We wasted two hours of our precious vacation. Keep that in mind and plan accordingly
