Very nice, little apartment.
Although there's a bar next door, the noise was not a problem at all.

The lack of aircondition makes the apartment very humid in the afternoon/evening - especially when the windows are closed during the day. There are two ventilation fans (no windows!) in the back of the apartment and two windows in the front - turn on the fans and open the windows for relatively quick venting.

The wireless network is fine for two phones, but is also shared with the apartment above. When people in the above apartment (where the transmitter is located) used the wi-fi, it wasn't powerful enough to work in our apartment as well. That was a bit annoying.

That said and considering the alternatives, it was a very pleasant stay in a relatively quiet corner of the very bustling Bairro Alto
