This is a very spacious and well located apartment. You are a short hop from the river, and Ribeira neighborhood has all the charm you expect! The hosts run a tour group too, and you can take them up on a river cruise or walking tour of the city. Luis and Elisabete were very responsive hosts.

The only drawback is that the building next door is under massive reconstruction ... the workers drilled and hammered from 8am-6:30pm everyday. I'd recommend staying here only on the weekends until the construction completes. The hosts tried to intervene with the company to quiet things down, but it just wasn't possible. They graciously offered to move us to another apartment, but it was too far removed for what we wanted to do, and we were already situated.

Overall, a good but not great experience.
