The apartment itself is lovely, it's just like the photos and my sister and I really enjoyed staying here. We loved the funky chairs and the beautiful tiles in the shower. It's a good location in Bairro Alto, a few streets away from all the bars and restaurants. The road isn't particularly busy, however the bedroom is right next to the street so you do hear some noise from people/cars/rubbish collection outside at night. Check in was fairly easy, we arranged this with a lovely lady called Laura, who showed us everything we needed to know about the place when we arrived.
