I'd definitely recommend staying in this apartment. Especially if there's a big group. We were a group of thirteen. It's so central to everything. Especially bairro alto. Restaurants, bars, cafés and nightclubs on your doorstep. Beautifully decorated and spacious, it's got everything you need. We were we'll received by Joao's brother and given lots of info. I'd definitely stay here again! Thanks Joao! :)
