Ricardo's place offers outstanding value and access to a blossoming area of the city. You are very closely located to a grocery store and the train, but we actually spent most of our time on foot. The walk to Gantry Park on the shore took about 25 minutes and is very pleasant if the weather cooperates.
The place itself was clean and well-organized, and it features a full size kitchen if you want to take a break from going out. The views are excellent and very peaceful at night, especially. The building seems to be well-run and the residents are younger and more hip — and also more quiet — than places I've stayed previously.
Our communication with Ricardo was nearly instantaneous and the check-in and check-out process was easy. Highly recommended and would stay here again.
