We had a lovely time here, all 18 days. The apartment is spacious and very comfortable. It isn't the most designery, but everything you need is there and the two sofas were a veritable blessing. The location is wonderful. You can walk to the truly great, hidden places like Restaurante Raízes in Lapa. Or you can go to the Time Our Market if you want to watch tourists behave in their most annoying ways. At Time Out, you can also get superb caramel ice cream at Santini's. But I digress. The lovely thing about the location is that it isn't a street thronged with tourists. Honestly, tourists are the worst. Nelson was extremely responsive and has a fine sense of realist humor. We'd happily stay there again.
