My girlfriend and I had a fantasic stay at Vera's place! The location is fantastic: 5 minutes from the Metro and in the centre of the famous Bairro Alto neighbourhood. We arrived during the Santo Antonio festival and there was an carnival atmosphere in all of the surrounding streets - incredible! There are lots of bars on the surrounding streets, a supermarket and bakery, and a shopping centre about 8 minutes away.
So, the location is great. So too is the apartment. The studio apartment has all you could want and more. Clean white towels and showel gel were provided and Vera even left us a bottle of port and some sweets. Maps and leaflets are provided too. The shower is really good and the bed is comfortable. The place was immaculate.
Vera was a great host, was very friendly and reliable in terms of communication, and she gave us many recommendations. I highly recommened booking this place!
