This apartment is fine. Like other guests have mentioned it is quite loud at night with the windows open. The location is great so just bring ear plugs. The door is hard to open. Turn the key a quarter turn to the right while pulling the handle in towards yourself. Good luck. Be sure to eat at the restaurant around the corner, Verde Minho, and try the Ginginha at the bottom of the hill. Be prepared for a steep hike to the apartment and pack light. The kitchen is beautiful and the washer and other amenities are lovely. Other reviews have mentioned that the area appears unsafe. It is not. It is very safe and the people in the area are very friendly. The location can’t be beat. It is central, close to transit, great restaurants and more. Have fun exploring the area. Keep in mind that the host is remote if you think you’ll need immediate assistance.
