We spent a little over a week at Rodrigo's place and we really enjoyed it. We didn't get to meet Rodrigo in person, but we were welcomed by Patricia who is really nice and explained us what we needed to know, and Rodrigo was always available via messages. Once we locked ourselves out of the apartment and realized it only when we got home around 11pm, Rodrigo replied straight away and helped us solve this problem really fast!
The views in the apartment are to die for, you pretty much have your own rooftop bar at the balcony overlooking Bairro Alto and Sao Jorge Castle.
The apartment has everything you may need, even such things as an ironing board, a hairdryer and a washing machine, and the kitchen is fully equipped. Also, no matter how hot it is outside once you open the windows you have a pleasant breeze throughout the apartment, so you never really feel the heat.
It is situated in the middle of night life so it can get a little noisy at night but not to the extent that it wouldn't let you fall asleep (unless you are a very light sleeper, and in this case you can just shut the windows). The apartment is located in the center and you can walk pretty much everywhere, subway and bus stops are within 10 min walking.
It is quite a walk up the stairs, but it didn't bother us much and around the 3rd day I got absolutely used to it (considering it as the price I have to pay for all the glasses of vino verde:).
We really enjoyed our stay and would def recommend Rodrigo's place!
