Super convenient location. Hip/young hood- we felt elderly compared! (We were 2 friends traveling together). The street on which it is located has many food and drink options. markets and Metro in short walking distance. We never felt inconvenienced and in fact was at advantage for getting out to Belem and Alcantara areas and riverfront.
The flat itself is a nice meld of original details and modern renovations. Kitchen is equipped with anything you would need to prepare a meal "at home". The rain shower is a nice feature and the modern on demand hot water meant there was never an issue with back to back showers.
The mildew odor however was pervasive and took getting used to. We managed but anybody with allergies or who may have respiratory reactions should stay elsewhere until it is resolved. The lively nightlife scene mentioned in other reviews did not affect us negatively but we were there during cooler nights so had windows closed. Warm weather travelers should take note as there is no A/C so open windows during warm nights in combination with the alley/court bouncing and amplifying sound would be problem for those looking for quiet setting. Mildew aside I could see this property as a great option for young friends traveling together who want separate rooms or a family with kids since the living area and kitchen are not cramped. Oh and beds SUPER comfy!
