The apartment is nice and spacious. I enjoyed the shared living room--very cozy. 2 washers available for use which is nice, and the kitchen had everything needed. Plenty of outlets to plug in devices. Nancy, the host, and her husband work very hard to keep the place clean and homey--she brought oranges for myself and the other guest which was very nice of her. I had a bit of trouble with the wifi toward the end for some reason, even sitting right next to the router. Also, this is student housing as well, and Bairro Alto is a busy (read: noisy) neighborhood, so I struggled at first with the noise, but I was able to communicate with the other student guests, and I got used to the noise outdoors as well. This is a great location in the center of everything.
