Apt. was just as described. Lovely & clean, with small balcony right on the "Elevador da Bica" steep street, so right outside your doorstep. Lots of stairs up, up up to get there, but was expected. Romuald greeted us & even helped us get our luggage up. Very helpful "local tips" booklet & some refreshments & coffee to get us started (really appreciated after long hours of travel).
