The apartment itself was beautiful and large. The pictures provide a good idea of what the place actually looks like. Gilmar/Alvaro were great hosts, putting some drinks/snacks in the fridge, telling us about the neighbourhood and occasionally checking in to see if there was anything we needed. The only thing worth noting is that the apartment itself is relatively far from the city center, as can be seen from the map, and it is located at the top of a hill, so walking back up can be a bit annoying. On the other hand, the apartment is located close to many great restaurants/bars, and there is the BART and other public transportation nearby.
