The place was just a short walk from São Bento station and was truly a great location. If you are a light sleeper you can really hear people outside very clearly. I am a heavy sleeper and so it did not bother me but for someone who sleeps lightly this may be an issue. The place was very spacious and equipped with everything I needed for my stay. The bed was very comfortable. Barbara was a wonderful host and provided many suggestions of places to eat.
