The studio is very clean and appears as described. It's in a cool area because you are a 4 minute walk from bairro alto but just far enough that you don't hear all the noise from the bars when you're trying to sleep. There are also some trendy places to eat around the studio, including one owned by the owner. The studio is on the street level which is great because you won't have to carry your bags very far and the windows are very secure. We never got to meet Rui but his restaurant staff help you with anything you need in the apartment. You are also within a 10€ Uber ride from most of the tourist attentions. Would definitely stay here again.
