Maria’s apartment is in an excellent location for Bairro Alto! We were able to get a taxi to the front door so there was no need to pull our suitcases up the hills. The views from the front and back of the apartment are great as others have commented. We enjoyed a pre-dinner drink from the living room with the balcony doors open (not enough balcony space to sit outside but still nice to have this feature). The apartment is decorated tastefully and was clean and comfortable for 3 of us. Good value and would recommend!
