The apartment has a great and unique character to it. It's very spacious, lots of windows and perfect for groups hanging out in the numerous living areas. It is in a fabulous, very central street in Bairro Alto surrounded by bars and restaurants making it feel like you're amidst all the life and fun even when you stay in. It is very noisy very late into the night but we were warned about this by the host and simply slept with earplugs in. We would return.
