Great location in the middle of everything in the Santa Catarina neighbourhood. Easy access to transit, groceries and some of the best coffee in the city. Steep, narrow stairs, but we managed just fine with a stroller, medium suitcase and a toddler. Lots of character in the apartment, though we were there during the heatwave and it was sweltering. The AC and fans didn't really help sadly. They were kind enough to accommodate our early check-in which was really nice and they were very easy to contact throughout the trip. Would have been good to have more of the essentials: paper towels, tissue paper, note pads and pens, beach towels and a beach umbrella. A good stay overall, but there's room for improvement.
