I like this neighborhood because it is outside of the city's main tourist core, but still a short metro ride to the center. It is also close to the Arroios Market that has great food spots. The flat was spacious and had lots of light. It has great common areas, but the bedrooms are quite small. One of the rooms doesn't have a closet or any area to put your belongings. It might be best for a couple with small children, since one of the rooms has only 2 small double beds. Our one concern is the noise. There are neighbors above and below and the flat has no noise insulation. The walls and floors are thin, we could hear walking, running, television, music at all times.
