The best part about this place was the location. You are right in the centre of the city, and walking distance from various districts. It is also right beside a metro station. It is an old apartment building, with 4 flights of stairs to the unit. The shared living room was really nice and sunny, and we hardly saw the other tenants. The kitchen was not very functional but other than keeping some drinks in the fridge we didn’t really use it. You can hear the metro go by but we are heavy sleepers so it really didn’t bother us. Joao also gave us some great recommendations and was very responsive. If you are spending most of your time outside then this is a great option.
