The apartment is much better in real life than in the pictures, it is bigger as well. The perfect apartment for 4 persons. The kitchen had a small high table perfect for a fast breakfast, spacious and had all we needed. The dinning and the living room was in the corner of the apartment with plenty of sunlight and air conditioning that could be operated separated than the other A/C, for once we could get the temperature we wanted in each room (there are two other A/C in each bedroom). Both bathrooms were newly renovated and modern. We had no issues getting hot water (after you let the water run for 30 secs). The tv had many channels, many in portuguese but many other in english with portuguese text, there were also 3-4 kids channels. It was a plus to have an elevator, which work perfectly. The apartment is close to restaurants, small shops and the maritime port. We were really satisfy with the apartment, which I believe was a great value for what I pay for. I would definitely recommend it for families and families with kids as well (I was there with my 8 years old son).
