Maria's apartment is beautiful, and in a beautiful building, with incredibly friendly and helpful front door folks - all adding up to the perfect place to stay in Bairro Alto. Surrounded by the old neighborhood with cobbled, narrow streets, and then walking into this space that is so open and airy - it was an unexpected pleasure. Plus the parking space in the underground was greatly appreciated. I can't say enough great things about this stay and I only hope we have an opportunity to stay at Maria's in the future!
