This apartment is in the best location to explore the city and the vibrant immigrant community. We walked to all the major sites and visited every neighborhood on foot. The location was up a cute steep hill in a narrow roadway and up inside a traditional building with wonderful Portuguese tiles. The balcony and street facing windows gave a great breeze through the apartment. I would caution travelers that not only is there no AC, but all the fans in the airbnb are broken and have not been replaced. Also, there are many locals hanging out all night complete with their dogs who will make a loud enough racket to keep you up if you are forced to leave the windows open at night.
