The apartment couldn't be better located - right in the heart of the Baixa district, close to restaurants, attractions and transportation (bus, streetcar, train). There is a small elevator which was great as the apartment was on the fourth floor (fifth if you're from North America). The street was noisy, due to many cars, trucks, and buses, but pretty normal for a big city. The apartment is great for one or two people - any more than that would be crowded. The apartment had a beautifully renovated bathroom and a modern kitchen. The bedroom size was adequate but the beds were small (2 singles) and not very comfortable as they were too soft for us. Some people might like that but we are used to sturdier mattresses back home. We also would have been much happier with a queen or double bed. This is really a minor point, but one bed would definitely be better. Overall, a great location and a really nice renovated interior. A bit pricey but we would consider staying there again.
