It was a coincidence that we arrived during Sao Joao festival. The location couldn't be better for us. Like another reviewer mentioned, the drawback is the stairs. It is three floors so if you have mobility issues, this may not be the place for you. The apartment was clean, the communication was great. This apartment does not have a washer but there is a laundromat not far and also great places to eat within steps of the entrance. I would stay here again.
