We really loved this beautiful, sparkling clean, very comfortable apartment. The kitchen has full-sized appliances and is well stocked with dishes, cooking and eating utensils. The location is perfect for easy walking distance to so many points of interest. João was there to meet us at check in and was so kind to walk us around the neighborhood to show us where the Mercado and grocery stores are. There is also a cork board in the apartment that has a map and several postings of museums and other sites that help in planning a sight-seeing agenda. Such a thoughtful touch!
