The Paraíso Garden Suite is every bit as lovely as the photos – a perfect mix of modern conveniences and historical charm. The nearest metro station is very close by and it’s just a couple stops to the center. Despite the central location, the apartment is very quiet as it faces the garden, and the soundproofing is also excellent (we couldn’t hear the church bells with the windows closed).
Alice is a wonderful host and was very responsive to anything we needed. A word of caution about the entry door: if the key is in the lock on the inside and you close the door from the outside, a locksmith must be called to get the door open again, even though it’s not actually locked. The doorknob does not unlatch the door and it cannot be opened with a spare key. I learned this the hard way 😉.
