Our stay at Maria’s place was wonderful . She was extremely helpful and friendly . The place was about an 18 min walk from the metro station * i do recommend taking an Uber with your baggage as there are hills and steps which make it difficult when having all your bags . It is very close to great restaurants and bars . There was an amazing gelato place close by that we went to every night . 10 mins to Bairro Alto ( great for bars and restaurants)
