Ruben’s apartment was really great. Situated in the middle of the city on a quiet street in bairro alto it’s very close to all the bars and nightlife (5-10 min walk).It is very quiet during all day and night. The view from the apartments sunny balcony is truly spectacular overwatching the entire city, river and beautiful bridge. The apartment is very cute and quite big. It is located on the 4th floor with no elevator so out of shape/elderly people should take that into account. Also Bairro Alto is filled with hills and steps so you should consider taking a taxi or uber to get to the apartment when with luggage. Taxi prices aren’t that high there. Ruben himself was very nice and welcoming.
