When you meet Aline you will feel like you are being greeted by family. She was so warm and welcoming and extremely accommodating. She has her apartment set up as a B&B - it is just the right combination of professional and homely. The whole apartment is available for you to use, including the kitchen, living room and balcony. It is all spotless. The bedroom is large, bright and very comfortable - and we were very thankful to have an air conditioner in the middle of August! We walked to and from the centre of the city each day, which was about 25-30 minutes. There were shops and cafes nearby but they were mostly closed, we assume because of the time of year, so maybe there would be more atmosphere in the neighbourhood at other times. If you are happy to stay somewhere outside of the city then I would most definitely recommend this lovely home for your stay.
