The place itself is spectacular. It's beautiful, has great touches. You can see it is very newly renovated and the whole complex is as well. I appreciated the front gate and feeling of security. The area isn't too far from the highlights of the city. However BEWARE: I wish I had listened to some of the other reviews. This is at the top of the city in an area that streets go up and down and are steep. I highly highly suggest you expect to be using taxis/ubers, or the local electric scooters to come and go. I'm a tall athlete and it was a 40 minute walk downhill to Praca do Comercio and Bairro Alto. Coming back by foot is just not something you want to do. I loved the apartment, but take my advice.
