Great location, walkable to many sights, shops and restaurants nearby, trams and buses also close.
Quiet neighborhood but the main entrance and corridor of building is right on the other side of the larger bedroom. Although neighbors are generally respectful, hallway noise and front door activity can clearly be heard.
Ground floor unit but inside is nearly a a triplex layout. Not recommended for those who regard stairs as a challenge. Santa Catarina is also a bit of a hill, so some incline is involved when walking home.
The kitchen/lounge area is basement level with a nice skylight over the dining table. But highly humid and smells musty. Skylight also leaks when it rains. Although dehumidifier unit helped, it had to be emptied every 4-5 hours to keep working. Not recommended for those sensitive to mold.
