The apartment is exactly like the photos, cozy and spacious for 2 person. It is in the heart of Bairro Alto which means street partying till 2:30am on the weekend. We stayed Thursday to Sat night. Around 10 pm next store open into a bar and we can hear the actual conversation and laughs and cheers from the apartment. People are drinking and hanging out on the street right outside and clears up around 230am. Since we could not sleep on Thursday night, we joined the parties on Friday! It was a lot of fun but be prepared if you stay and it all depends on what you are looking for. It is very convenient with tons of restaurants around. Short walk to a lot of main areas. Also note that many tsxi driver will not stop right in front of the door. We had some miscommunication with the arrival time and therefore did not get to meet Sophia. However she was very responsive and provided assistance over text message.
