From arrival to departure, Carlos was an excellent host. He was prompt in responding to queries or requests to advice. The instructions to get in the apartment were clear. The apartment is located in the city center (Bairro Alto) with lots going on around. The evening/late night scene in the neighborhood is lively but didn’t impact my stay, though expect some late night revelers. The place is kept super clean and feels very modern, though the building is clearly from another era. Has some amenities, including washer/dryer, kitchen has all the basic needs (though with all the great restaurants nearby, didn’t get to use), two air conditioners (one in each large room) and nice bathroom. A cool spot in a great part of town with a terrific host. Highly recommended!
