This apartment could be a great spot to stay if you plan on not sleeping and just going around Bairro Altos many bars. It is effectively in the middle of two major bar crawl streets, and right next to trash pickup. From 8pm - 4am the loud crowds and singing bar attendees will be sure to keep you awake, and then you can enjoy the sounds of crushing glass as the early morning trucks pick up. If that isn't enough, the apartment is on the ground floor directly next to the entrance of the building, meaning every guest/ tenant that arrives or leaves you will be able to hear perfectly.
The apartment had a problem with drain flies or else maybe the whole neighborhood, and although Antonio tried his best to accommodate us, we had to find another place to stay due to the noise, flies and smells of sewage.
Antonio was very responsive and I believe if I had been more vocal about the issues earlier he would've been able to move us to another place. I would not suggest booking this apartment.
