The stay at Casinha Da Tia Maria was perfect. Every detail has been thought of. The apartment is extremely clean, spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms are modern and meticulously clean. The shower is powerful with a never-ending supply of hot water. The kitchen has everything that you can think of. Coffee is supplied and there are both American-style and espresso-style(Krups Nespresso) machines. The bedrooms are roomy with very comfortable beds and lots of storage in closets. A large utility room next to the kitchen with washing machine/drying rack/complimentary laundry soap makes doing some quick laundry very convenient. The apartment is perfectly located right above the Saldanha metro station making for quick trips to almost any part of the city. And the view of Avenida da Republica from the 8th story balcony is amazing. Check-in was easy and Filipe provided some great tips/recommendations for the area. Great communications. Great host. Highly recommended!
