The location of the apartment is great. Just across the street from the Bairro Alto area. Around the corner, there is a really nice cafe/restaurant with a terrace that overlooks the river and bridge. Wouldn't recommend staying here with more than 4 people. The pictures seem more spacious than it actually is. We stayed over with 5 girls and one of us had to sleep on the sleeping sofa in the living room. No problem at all, but it limits the common living space. Bathroom could have been cleaner, it smelled really bad and there was mould on the wall.
