The apartment is in a great location and was quiet except for two of the six nights. we didn't have a car and walked or took the bus from the Sao Bento station area near the cathedral. there is a small convenience store just a short walk away and a grocery store about a 10 minute walk away.
As others have noted, the bathroom could use some work. The tub is deep and very slippery to climb in and out of, so use caution.
We cooked some of our meals in and appreciated having a dishwasher. The washer was a bonus too!
