Pia's apartment is modern, comfortable, well decorated and fully stocked with anything you would need or want. She really has a great attention to detail and makes a good use of a studio space. The apartment is on the ground floor of a 6-story building, is sunny and has access to a rooftop lounging area with a hot tub.

Pia is an excellent hostess. While we didn't meet, she was very communicative over text and extremely generous by offering to give travel recommendations. We probably over-asked for her advice, but since she was spot on, I couldn't help myself from asking more (Thanks Pia!!).

As expected, the neighborhood is artsy and industrial and feels "up and coming". The street with the apartment really only has that building on it; it has yet to get a neighborhood feel in case that is what you are looking for. That said, we think the coziness of the apartment balances (and makes up for) the somewhat empty exterior area. And, within walking distance are cafes, some shops and a great upscale flea market. We snapped cool photos of graffiti and street art, but wouldn't have minded even more art or galleries in the area. Also, the location is convenient to take a quick drive or cab to downtown and to other cute areas.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend Pia's place! The apartment very well done, the price is spot on and the hostess was super nice.
