Communication with Paulo in advance of our stay was helpful and checking in on the day of our arrival went very smoothly. The apartment was tidy and cute and in a great neighborhood. We arrived at the start of one of the largest festivals of the year (June 11 &12). We knew there were festivals in June but the magnitude was far beyond our expectations. Unfortunately the apartment is not sound proof and with the festival literally feet from the doorstep we didn't get much sleep the first night and opted to find somewhere else to stay the second night. If you are coming to town for the festival, this apartment would be perfect! But if you are traveling in June and hoping for rest, you would be better served in a quieter neighborhood.
