Manuela's place felt like home. It is an apartment that could easily be yours. It is right in the downtown, just a few steps from Sao Bento metro station. The apartment has a great vibe to it and the furniture is comfortable. When we arrived we had a little present on the table, some port wine, sardine paste and crackers. Checking in was easy and quick. Although the apartment is situated on a busy road the sound isolation is very good! There's always hot water and the pressure in the shower is good. Bed is super comfortable and the two heaters provided a very pleasant temperature in every area. The bathroom is equipped with a towel drier too! Manuela was very nice, she was checking in on us via messages asking whether everything is alright and whether we feel as we expected. We stayed three nights and we had everything that we needed. The kitchen was well equipped and the apartment comes with a Nespresso machine too! A really pleasant stay! Thank you, Manuela!
