First of all the apartment is really beautiful and perfect located in Bairro Alto. In walking distance there are a lot of Bars and Restaurants that we really enjoyed. BUT at the moment right next door there is a building under construction. That means from Monday until Saturday the workers start at 6.30/7.00 am and finish at around 6pm. So, we had no chance to sleep longer than 7am also it was impossible to have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the apartment. The noise was so loud that you could not understand one word. Further the construction was so heavy that in one bedroom the walls and therefore the bed was shaking as soon as the construction started. We stayed for 6 days and after these 6 days our nervous were at the end. It was not a restful vacation at all. If we would have known before that the construction is that loud and the whole day we would not have booked the apartment.
