This apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Bairro Alto, and a great spot to start exploring the city. We were able to walk to most sights, and the area itself is very charming: small alleyways, beautifully tiled houses, some really cool spots close by with amazing views... The apartment itself was perfect for two people and as a base for trips throughout the city. Close by there is a supermarket if you need to buy groceries.
One thing to note though: it's located next to a music school, and at night people party in the streets. If you are a light sleeper or easily bothered by sounds, it could disturb you – but we knew that the area is lively at night and slept perfectly (the bedroom is away from the street). Also of note is that the stairs are pretty steep and the staircase is narrow – again, not a problem for us, but if you have mobility issues, it might be difficult to get in and out (I can't imagine this to be a problem for most people though).
In conclusion: great place in a fantastic area, in an amazing city! We would love to come back!
