The location of this apartment could not have been better. The view from the balcony was also amazing. There is no air conditioning, but there are plenty of fans that helped to make up for that. Keeping the windows cracked open at night also made for cooler temperatures. Overall though I can't stress enough how amazing the location is. Bairro Alto is an incredible neighborhood and you're also still only a 20 minute walk from other great historical areas and the riverside.
