Perfect location, just off the beaten path on a narrow street with residences and small shops. Walkable to Sao Bento, Ribeira Square and the river. The road up to the apartment is a little steep with heavy luggages, but I was able to handle it by myself with no problem.
The apartment interior is so thoughtfully designed, it was easy to feel at home. Everything you need is there. Good for solo traveler, couple, and small family (there is a clever pull out couch). Enjoyed the views from the small balcony over breakfast with the provided coffee and tea. The washer/dryer is a wonderful convenience. There is a fridge and freezer, and 2 supermarkets within walking distance, making it easy to keep drinks and snacks at home.
Communication was easy and prompt through the AirBnB messages in the app.
Muito obrigada, Cláudia! It was lovely to meet you and I hope to return one day!
