Laura's apartment was great.
There are four flights of stairs you'll have to walk up but it's all worth it once you get to enjoy the view out of the windows in the living room. As it is so high up there is beautiful light in the apartment. There are four bedrooms which were perfect as we were 7 people. Laura carefully prepared all the beds and towels for everyone, the apartment was very clean and she even was there herself when we arrived at 11 pm from the airport.
We had a little problem getting the hot water to run which turned out to be totally our fault because we did not read the instructions properly. So it is advisable to do so as it is a very old building and there are a few tricks to make your life there easier. And Laura wrote them all down.
The location is also great. It's right next to Jardim de São Pedro de Alcântara which has a beautiful view and very nice white Sangria at the cafe there. And in Bairro Alto, there are a lot of Bars and Restaurants.
Thank you again, Laura!
