Sergio was a great host! He was extremely friendly and greeted us when we got to the apartment. He gave us an excellent restaurant suggestion that was right around the corner. The location is perfect if you want to be in the heart of Bairro Alto. The neighborhood is very loud and lively at night, but with the shutters closed the noise was not an issue at all. The apartment was cozy and comfortable. The only issue we had was with the doors that were sometimes tricky to unlock , but overall it was a great stay.
