Luis’ space is great, very charming. Located right in Bairro Alto, which is a major nightlife location (think Bourbon Street, almost, that kind of bar vibe), the place is up one floor above the street and has windows on 3 sides. Great for solo travelers or couples, the space was clean and very charming “old world”. Luis is a great host who communicated quickly and frequently with suggested bars and restaurants around the area. A few things to remember:
-This is a nightlife area, if you’re a light sleeper it’s best to bring ear plugs.
-Remember that air conditioning isn’t as prevalent in some older buildings. That being said, this unit is not fitted with AC. This did not bother me even on a hot day as all the windows open and provide good ventilation along with a couple fans, I found it alright.
-Be careful going up and down the stairs with your luggage, it could be a bit steep for some.
