I stayed at Ivo's place near Alto de Extremadura for 2-3 weeks and found it to be clean, quiet, and comfortable. The area is very residential so if you're looking to walk to the nearest bar or restaurant it's not for you. It is however a quick ride on the bus or subway to get to most anywhere you'd like to go and there's a nice park as well as several grocery options near the flat if you fancy some cooking.

Ivo is very friendly, hospitable, and well-informed about many of the cultural activities happening in the city. I would definitely recommend staying here!
