Las Sendas is a VERY nice district. I wouldn't mind living there myself. Check Dori out; w/God's Blessings.
There is no reason why you need to travel to sign a Lease. If you were buying I would suggest the trip.
The Property owner or management company should be able to e-mail the Lease Agreement to you and you can print it, sign it, and Fax it back.
Question: WHY do you want to come here in May-July? You realize these are our warmest months?
As to the house you have selected to lease, are you doing this through a property management company? Can they send you photos of the house and the area?
Feel free to contact me if you would like an independent take on the house and location. - Wed Apr 16 2008, 09:50
