Maria Cristina’s apartment is wonderful. Like the photos but better. High ceilings, comfortable bed, nice cotton bedding, hot shower, beautiful artwork, clean, well equipped kitchen, and tremendous view. We stayed 5 nights, walked everywhere, close to Sao Bento train station, the riverfront, key sights and charming winding streets with cafes and restaurants close by. Maria Cristina responded quickly, check in was a breeze. Highly recommend.
