The apartment is as pretty as the pictures show, and very convenient. Tiago is a communicative and helpful host; whenever we had a question, he was quick to reply. As pointed out by a few other reviewers, the apartment is in a popular neighbourhood. So a lot of good locations (but beware of the tourist traps!) are nearby. Yes, this also means that it can occasionally be loud in the environment, but I would say the apartment did a fairly good job of reducing the noise to a background level, and neither my wife nor I had problems getting to sleep.
