Manny's apartament is very interesting I'd say. It is spacious and with a tasteful original design. The fireplace is really nice. The kitchen is very well equipped. We were provided towels and slippers just like in a hotel. You should know that it is in the basement so you don't have any street view. That was the part that surprised us since in our countries it's not very common. It has also a problem with insects. We found bugs and ants where everywhere. The neighborhood is very diverse and the neighbors were nice to us. However all taxi drivers and friends advised us not to go out at night or come home late because the neighborhood is not safe. We took the advice and took always an uber at night. The apartment has an excellent location, just 5 minutes from the metro station. We spent around 40 minutes to get downtown though. Manny is the perfect host. He showed his availability all the time and welcomed us out of courtesy with 2 bottles of wine, fruit, cereal bars, water and coffee. Oh yes! He has a Nespresso coffee machine. For the Portuguese that's gold. We had a nice stay in Manny's apartment overall. Thank you!
