This apartment is in a great location as far as being in the action! Young people will love it - and cool old people too;) it’s not necessarily noisy but it’s in a happening part of the neighborhood. The apartment is well laid out to make the most of the space, and it’s very charming. We stayed with our two small kids and had a great time. The double bed (couch conversion) in the living room was a big hit with them. It is a few flights to walk up- but not a big deal. Would stay there again for sure. Bairro Alto rocks.
