The apartment is pretty big and it is well located nearby Bairro Alto but in a calm area. It is good that it is on the third floor, and you cannot be disturbed by the neighbour's noises. The building is pretty old and it doesn't have an elevator, so this means that you will have to climb all the baggage on the stairs (it wasn't a problem for us). The double bed is comfortable and you can use the living area also for working. The furniture is pretty used (which I didn't mind), it doesn't look anymore as it is in the photos. The great part is that the apartment gets a lot of light during the day and you could use the AC for heating during the night. The temperature was overall good so we didn't use the AC. The kitchen is not open space (a huge advantage in my opinion) and it has everything you need to prepare a breakfast or a meal if you don't want to eat outside. The communication with the host was smooth. Thank you. I highly recommend it.
