This apartment lives up to its pictures. It is light, with high ceilings. It is rented through a company called Guest Ready. They sent me so many advertisements for tours and other services that I missed the purpose of their message, which was to set a time for check in. You must either travel to Guest Ready offices for the key, or pay an additional 10 Euros for someone to meet you on the premises. I would much prefer keyless entry, but I am sure there are reasons to do it this way. Just be prepared for this.
We were met by Tomas, who was very nice. I was glad he met us, because as we entered, the door knob fell off. To the credit of Guest Ready, this was fixed within an hour.
This apartment does not have a standard coffee maker. It has a Nescafe maker, but we were unable to locate Nescafe pods at the grocery.
The location is pretty good, about a mile to either the Campanha or Sao Bento Metro stations.
