It was a very lovely and cozy apartment. The layout and size of the apartment was perfect for 1-2guests. Luis couldn’t meet me so his brother and his wife personally checked me in and spend some time to share the things to do/See along with lots of amazing personal tips !! I truly appreciated it! They also left me with some port and Portuguese tarts to enjoy in my own space after they left. The bed was very very comfortable and the shower was amazing (rain shower and jet sprays). I was having some trouble with the stove but the brother came immediately to show me how to turn it on and also went to get me a drying rack for my wash. Their hospitality is just incredible! The TV comes with a variety of English channels and they even provide some kitchen provisions to get you started.
Everything was great except the heater. It takes a very long time to heat up and even then it’s not very warm. Also the neighbour upstairs has a dog. So if you hear noises, it’s because it’s playing. Sometimes you might even hear it cry... But other than that it was an amazing stay!!! Location was fantastic!! Just 2mins walk to Trindade station (5-7mins if you have a heavy luggage. Please note that you will be walking up a slight slope from the station with cobblestone pavements.) Otherwise it’s an easy walk (10mins) from the center. Lots of great bars and restaurants nearby too. Highly recommend this apartment for its comfort, location and great hosts!
