The accommodation is very compact so requires a bit of adjustment accordingly but this is clearly stated in the apartment/room description. It's also a bit lacking in natural light though the laneway location is very quiet so its quite possible to have the front door open for additional light and air while inside. The location is excellent right on the quieter edge of Bica/Lapa/Estrela and very easy to move around all three neighbourhoods. Its also super close to the Parliament building so lots of very stylish bars, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep and within very short walking distance - Santos etc. This was really a very good area - lots of style and sophistication and very friendly owners and staff everywhere i visited. Perfect for a few nights, good value accommodation in a very cool location.
