First thing we noticed when we got in was the beautiful view over the plaza and river beyond, with the sun sparkling off the rooftops and the water! Gorgeous! The apartment itself is just as pictured: fresh, clean spaces with comfortable furniture and plenty of room. We were traveling with another couple and it was nice for everyone to have their own space. Both bedrooms are tidy and have windows that look out on the courtyard. We used the upstairs bedroom, which was spacious and comfy. Only small issue is that with the ceilings as they are, I couldn’t really use the mirror in the upstairs bathroom: I’m 6’2” and it was too low for me. But I could just shave in the downstairs half bath in the living room, so no big deal.
The area around the apartment is also ideal for visitors. Good food options right outside the door and lots more within a ten minute walk. Easy access to the riverfront trail for running and walking. Good shopping in the neighborhood and nearby in Baixa. All in all, we would very happily come back to this apartment again!
