If you want to enjoy some time in Bairro Alto this is the perfect place to do it. The apartment is very centrally located within Bairro Alto and also only one block up from a main street to other parts of the city. As noted in the listing, it’s on the ground floor - so there aren’t really windows to the outside except for an internal patio for drying clothes. The neighborhood can be a little loud at night, but we never heard anything in the bedroom and could sleep no problem.
