Sonia accommodated an early check in and met us on site to let us inside and give us the lay of the land. The apartment matches the listing photos. The location is perfect, less than a 10 minute walk to the Ribeira waterfront in one direction and Praça do Municipo in the other. Keep in mind the apartment is located in a very popular plaza. There is live music during the day and into the evening, but it stops at a reasonable hour. The plaza contains and amplifies sound, and late night revelers returning home sound very loud. The wooden shutters in the windows block light, but not sound. Earplugs may be useful. In February it was cold and damp, but the electric heater and wool blankets provided kept us warm. Sonia was a wonderful host. We would stay with her again.
