The location is great, right in the middle of Bairro Alto. I saw some people mentioning that it was "loud" but it dies down around 2 am when everybody heads to the clubs or goes to sleep. Also, if you're looking for a quiet place to stay then this neighborhood isn't for you to begin with. The apartment was very clean, spacious & comfortable and had a washing machine, drying rack & iron and ironing board. Check in was very easy, the host was communicative but also gave you your space during your stay. I would definitely stay here again.
