This apartment is a true gem. It has a lovely terrace with a sun umbrella and table and chairs so you can comfortably have your breakfast or a glass of wine with cheese out there or just sit and read. Very private terrace that gets beautiful light in the second half of the day (I was there in November, probably gets even more light in summer). The bed is super comfortable. The Santa Catarina area is filled with gorgeous cobblestoned streets and quiet alleys and lots of character. There are plenty of brunch, breakfast or dinner options nearby, cafes and shops, and small markets to pick up any items you may need. It's close to all the fun night spots but just far enough away from them to ensure you get a good night's sleep. The hosts are amazing, provide great local tips, a list of local stuff to do and see and where to eat and are very accommodating (they got me in early on my day of arrival). The street is very private but just one block away from all the shops you need.
