I really enjoyed my stay at this rental. The unit's manager was extremely welcoming and accommodating. She is local, knows the city well, and answers questions promptly by text. She even helped me figure out the washing machine via FaceTime! The extreme proximity to MiniPreço (small grocery) allowed me to make excellent home-cooked food in the well equipped full kitchen (roasted Piri Piri chicken, green salad, and Caldo Verde). It's also close to Jardim Botânico, Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, and a bit of nightlife (WoofLX, Bar Tr3s). There are views in the front (beautiful city) and rear (a quiet private park) of the unit. The restaurant Frei Contente is only a block away and was magnificent. Note that the 3rd floor in Europe is what Americans call the 4th floor. Regardless, I enjoyed taking the stairs in this historic building. It is situated on a small street that stayed really quiet. I found that I could sleep in late, relax with my coffee while enjoying the view, and come and go easily day or night. The place was recently remodeled and has modern conveniences, and yet the old world charm is still intact.
