We were welcomed as arranged by Marilia who, luckily for us, speaks great English!
She was very helpful and answered our many questions about where to eat, visit and shop for food. She also gave us a glass of port each and some coffee pods to start us off.
The lovely, secure apartment, with the added bonus of a private outdoor space, is very close to Trindade metro station and a short walk from the centre, with a supermarket and plenty of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars nearby.
The kitchen is very well equipped with pans, plates etc. The bedroom, which opens out to the terrace, has a comfy double bed, large wardrobe with hangers and plenty of drawers for clothes. The choice of bath or shower worked well for us, once we worked out how to get hot water and the large, thick towels were appreciated!
I would recommend Downtown Terrace to anyone and Marilia is the perfect hostess!
