The apartment is in a fantastic central location in Bairro Alto. That also meant that the apartment was at times noisy though there also seemed to be a lot of noise from the apartment above. The apartment is large and stylishly decorated with lots of interesting bits and pieces. Cristina gave lots of great tips for exploring the area. The only downside was the lack of natural ventilation in the bedrooms which was more noticeable given it was very hot at the time. Though Cristina did provide fans (with silent mode) in all the bedrooms.
