Fernando was very responsive and let us drop our bags off before the check-in time, which we greatly appreciated. The apartment is conveniently located near Sāo Bento station and lots of nice restaurants as well as other attractions, and is a short walk to the Ribeira. The apartment itself is pretty basic, and we felt it was a good value for the price. We had a few small issues with noise (construction across the street/outside the bedroom window started at 8 AM, and there were a couple of noisy neighbors), but all was quiet at night.
