David’s studio apartment in Barro Alto is incredibly well located, safe and decorated with care, making it feel really homey. David is a responsive, kind and generous host!!! He was very helpful whenever we had questions. It was a little noisy at night so if you’re a light sleeper this may impact you. There is a wonderful self service laundromat around the corner (Wash & Go) and a busy little supermarket (Minipreco) a 2 minute walk away. When you’re there make sure you buy the Pao de dues (translated it means bread of god), it’s a briochey, lemony coconut treat and worth it! We walked almost everywhere but for those that don’t wish to there is a tram stop located close by. The apartment is at the top of 4 flights of stairs and wouldn’t be suitable for people with limited mobility.
