You feel like a resident staying in this apartment in the bairro when you find your way to the door. From the windows of the fifth floor you can look across the city in three directions and what a view. Be advised that it is a walk up , as stated in the description. And the ceilings are low.
Rui was very helpful and responded promptly to my questions. My flight was delayed by 12 hours so I arrived at midnight. His very sweet parents stayed up to let me in.
My challenge was locating the street, the shuttle driver had difficulty finding it because it is not very accessible to cars. Once there you can easily walk around the city.
