The location of the appartment is absolutely perfect, since it is located right next to bairro alto and therefore a lot of sightseeing places and restaurants are just 5-10 min walking. Hélène is also wonderfull and very nice and easy to communicate with. Even when there is something wrong with the appartment on a Sunday, she will come by and fix it. The appartment itself is however not so cosy as it only has windows looking out on a wall and therefore the amount of light is scarce, and the damp odour that comes from the kitchen cabinets does not help this uncosy feeling.
