The pictures don’t do this place justice. It has every amenity you could ever need, from ice cold AC to a washer/dryer and a great patio. It is very secure- we were never bothered and the local host, Alex, responded to our questions promptly and offered great local tips.
After traveling Europe for 14 days, this was by far the best value we received. And you can’t beat the location, as you are just a few blocks away from the bairro alto district (so the apartment is quiet but you can walk to the bars).
