Address: Sabana Grande, Caracas Not a real agency, Nelson is the name of a very friendly local college professor who rents out his apartment to tourists. What you get for the price is, apart from the very convenient apartment itself, valuable guidance about touring the city, including how to deal with the locals, where to head to at what time to catch which local event, and how to explore the city depending on your personal interests, skipping all the unnecessary parts and focusing only on what you expect out of your visit to the city. Nelson lives on a small flat just two minutes’ walk from the main avenue at Sabana Grande – ask any local once you get there, he is quite a popular guy in the neighborhood!
