Great central location in historic district next to old theatre, restaurants and Sao Bento Train station.
The building shares the same alley as a hospital or soup kitchen where people line up at night around 7-8 pm. The area felt safe, but it does get a little bit loud or uncomfortable if you’re staying inside or keying in the code while there’s people gathered out front. There is a kitchen with a stove top, mini fridge/freezer and microwave and coffee and tea.
Graciete’s place had a nice welcome book, plenty of storage for our belongings and air conditioning to suit our basic needs.
