In many ways a great location, although a little busy and loud at night. The apartment is a couple of minutes walking distance to the beautiful Crystal Palace Gardens, where you can see peacocks , ducks and hens (nice for families with young children). Also not far from a good health food shop and a 15 minute walk to the Bom Sucesso Food market (Mercado Bom Sucesso).
During our stay it was incredibly hot, so the only complaint we had, was that there were no coolers or fans. Leaving the window open during the night was not ideal because of the noise of traffic and barking dogs. Our recommendation would be to add some simple fans. Some essential cooking ingredients like salt, pepper and herbs would have also been nice. Apart from that, we felt very comfortable. The views on to the green gardens were lovely. The place was clean and nicely decorated. Many thanks and best wishes.
