Very well appointed apartment in a fantastic location. João was incredibly friendly and gave us a really thorough tour of the apartment, and gave us lots of tips for our stay. Communication was outstanding, as was the welcome gift of wine and snacks! As his description states, the streets below can get loud (especially on weekends) but we used earplugs and slept great in the very comfortable bed. The apartment is steps away from great restaurants, bars, parks, and the historic Elevador da Gloria, which will take you down the steep hill to the metro station and more. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
