Excellent, spacious apartment with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, decorated with smart sense of decor. We were five older friends and appreciated the space. We liked the Intendente area a lot - up and coming, especially around the Largo Do Intendente, not full of tourists, quiet residential area, close to Metro and trams, and walkable to other areas, but the nature of the area might make some people uneasy (it was once considered unsafe, but we saw no evidence of that now). Supermarket nearby, and smaller stores under our apartment. Wifi good in most rooms, with one exception at end of hall. First two days were very cold and rainy, so the heaters provided were necessary, but the rest of the time was sunny and comfortable. Communication with hosts was fine with no issues. Highly recommended.
