I am reiterating the many positives that other reviewers have written. Margarida is very good with responding to questions or concerns. She was waiting for us when we arrived from the airport and arranged for the taxi to pick us up very early for our return to the airport.
The size of the studio worked out well for two people. My friend was on the sofa bed. Good Wi-Fi was also important to us as we both enjoy using iPads for information. Using Google maps, we were able to walk everywhere. There is a large grocery store very close called Pingo Doce.
Yes, as others have noted, there is some noise. There is outside street noise until around midnight......and it is not constant. We got used to this because we are living in a neighborhood. There is a family upstairs with children. They get up around 730 or 8 o’clock and you can hear them sometimes running around. We enjoyed our stay at Margarida’s place. It is very clean and Margarida is a warm, welcoming host. Thank you!
