What a great apartment! We wanted somewhere that was central for walking, quiet for sleeping, close to a grocery store and comfortable at the end of the day. All our criteria were met!
We were met at the airport by the awesome driver recommended by Sofia. The drive to the apartment was a lovely treat to ourselves, rather than battling public transportation when we were new to the city and tired from a long flight. We booked the same driver for the trip back to the airport. We are pretty sure Sofia called him en route to check that we were picked up on time!
Sofia was waiting and as efficient as her correspondence. A bottle of wine and water was awaiting us in the fridge.
The larger Pinco Doce grocery store is an easy walk and has a great selection of fresh foods for meals.
Best of all is the quiet sleeping at the end of the day. The king size bed is very comfortable and the location at the back of the apartment ensures a quiet night.
Book if you can! It seems to book up quickly!
