The apartment was very new after renovation, spotlessly clean, with a great kitchen with all the appliances you would need. For our family group of five adults it was ideal, with four bedrooms, a dining room, two bathrooms and a large lounge with a huge television. There is air conditioning and a small balcony off the kitchen. The apartment building was secure and not noisy. Paulo welcomed us on time, showed us the apartment and gave us an introduction to the area, he is very friendly. You do have to use stairs to access the apartment.
