The apartment was well appointed and pretty much like the description. Raquel had given us all instructions to arrive and everything worked very well. Apartment was a bit cold, but an electric heating was available and helped warm it up, especially the bathroom. When we were preparing to leave, we asked at the bar downstairs Clube da Esquina (the owners also take care of the apartments), and just needed to leave keys in the apartment - very uncomplicated. Bairro Alto is full of bars and crowded in the evenings, with some inevitable noise until late hours - the downside of a very good location, close to public transportation and several attractions. We recommend it.
