The apartment is very centrally located in Bairro Alto. Both close to restaurants and cafe's, as well as the airport (approx. 25 minutes by car). The apartment was clean and equipped with all necessities you would need.
We never met with Halina, but found both the check-in and check-out procedure very easy.
The only thing that we were a bit surprised and disappointed by, was the amount of noise we experienced during the night. At night-time there is a lot of people and cars in the street, sometimes giving the illusion that they are literally inside the apartment. The sliding door that is pictured in the gallery to this Airbnb was missing on our arrival, which could have blocked out the noise from the street.
Halina told us, after we inquired about this, that the door had been taken out because of damage.
If you stay in this apartment we would highly recommend buying earplugs if you want to get some sleep at night.
