A great experience. An easy recommendation for anyone who seeks a well-located, well-lit, well-spaces apartment, with a lovely host as a bonus.

From the get-go, Renata (our host) was very helpful and present. When we arrived at the airport, she was already there, waiting for us. The airport is about a 15 minute (pleasant) drive up to her apartment - where she'll tell you all about the local amenities and hot spots - leaving you feeling like a local already! Alternatively, you can get the "Linha Vermelha" (Red line) which goes straight to São Sebatiao; the nearest station, which is approximately a 7 minute walk (a pleasant one through a "calçadão" with nice cafes and restaurants).

The flat is quite close to the city centre (10 mins by metro) and boasts of nice little touches such as the pleasant little terrace and a hidden en suite, which is very cosy for couples. Another pleasant feature - especially for those who like to have a good sleep-in, are the Blackouts - which really blocks all the sunlight in the morning, allowing you sleep well until what-ever time!
Although the flat has one room, I'd definitely say it's ideal for up to 4 people.

We initially had some troubles with the Wi-FI, but Renata was very prompt in sorting it out and had everything working promptly. Apart from that, everything went well and the flat was a solid part of a very lovely experience overall.

If you're looking for something that is well worth the money and the price, this is the place.

Ps. The locals are very pleasant and polite. We recommend you try out the little restaurant open by the 'Mini Preço' supermarket at luch or dinner.

5/5 all round!
