The apartment is studio-size and nicely apportioned, nicely furnitured; clean and bright with a large window looking out to a very pleasant view of the surrounding area and distant hills; at night the view is one of lights. There is another window and door looking out to the deck. Gilmar was accommodating in letting us in earlier, which we much appreciated. Although the apartment does not have a kitchen he has equipped the unit with just about every kitchen device one can have, minus a stove : a micro-wave, a toaster, a toaster-oven, and a coffee maker. Also, he welcomed us with a bottle of wine and the refrigerator was stocked with drinks of various kinds. We were never bothered by noise of any kind and regarding parking, no problem at all. In all, a most gracious host who seems to have thought of everything he could to make our four-night stay enjoyable.
