This apartment was amazing. We were staying during a heat wave, and we were so thankful to have air conditioning! Everything in the apartment was brand new, the bed was more comfortable than my bed at home and it's close to everything! Right on the train line that takes you to all the beaches, across from Time Out market which is a MUST see and just at the base of Bica and Bairro Alto which are fun and lively neighborhoods! The apartment smelled lovely, was quiet at night even though in such a lively neighborhood and i can't wait to come back to stay here! Highly recommend!
