Omir was very helpful getting us settled in. He allowed us to check in early but then our flight was delayed by seven hours and he was so accommodating and gracious to let us check in late. He took the time to get us oriented to our neighborhood with recommendations for dining, ideas for sightseeing and getting around town.
In the area close to the apartment, there is no shortage of dining and shopping. I was surprised how many people were out in the evenings walking or visiting in the cafés. The Praça Duque de Saldanha and all the stores and malls around it are 4 to 5 blocks away.
The apartment itself is very clean, comfortable and modern and the terrace is a nice extra space for relaxing.
