Bairro Alto is charming in the day, cosy in the evening and crazy at night. One of the best city areas I have visited, no question about it. The apartment is more or less smack in the middle of it all, and ideal if you want to explore the city and even live in the eye of the storm.

José is an excellent host, even though we never met. He responded quickly and gave advice when asked for. The apt itself is exactly like in the pictures, small and nice. Location is excellent, unless you are sensitive to sounds of the night, ie people having a good time. And oh, the staircase is very steep, almost ladder-like, but we found that kind of cool.

Definitely recommended and worth the price!
