This apartment was the bomb.com!! Carlota was such a great host and communication was A+++! Carlota responded always within an hour or sooner. We ended up coming in a day later than planned and Carlota went out of her way to meet us very early when we arrived. The apartment was as listed and spotlessly clean. VERY AWESOME LOCATION! Tons of character!

When you arrive at the airport, simply take the Metro Pink Line #8 until it ends and then switch to the Blue Line #10. Take the blue to the Restauradores stop and get off. Look for the Gloria elevator and take to the top of the hill. Travessa de Boa Hora is right there and the apartment is just a few steps away. You will want to get a green Zapping card and load it with about 10 Euros. You do have to zap your card for the elevator up Gloria, and it is well worth the cost. I arrived before the elevator was running and hiked up the hill with a backpack and luggage. Not fun! Wear comfortable shoes, as there are steep hills all over.

The grocery store is a 5 minute walk. Out of the apartment, turn right up to the Rua de Rosa. Turn left and follow the street down to the bottom of the hill. There you will find a Mini Preco and it will have everything you need. But, there are a lot of little convenience stores open late where you can buy snacks, etc.

I would stay in this apartment again, or any of the other properties that Carlota manages!
