Matilde was an excellent and gracious host. The apartment is really nice and quiet, being on the side rather than main street. It is actually much better than than the photos suggest, with high ceilings, airy rooms and tasteful art on the walls. The kitchen is well equipped and with good food available in nearby Rouses market, the Sat morning farmer's market on the end of the block or Emeril's a 2 block walk away, there's really no reason not to eat well here. All in all, had a lovely time and enjoyed being home from home. Thanks Matilde and Gustavo!
