Overall this is a fabulous apartment. Fantastic central location (right in the middle of the city/hillside) and close to Sao Bento station and everything. It’s also beautifully appointed space with really small, thoughtful, and functional touches (like outlets by the bed with extra plugs and pre-set lighting for the space). Also very comfortable towels and sheets.
I will say that the apartment has no AC. This was clear in the listing but I assumed the building would be older and naturally insulated. That was partly the case - and Christina provided a dehumidifier (which worked great!) so it was definitely liveable and I could sleep decently at night, but was hard to be there in the middle of the day. I was there in the middle of an unexpectedly hotter July heatwave, so maybe in a cooler part of summer, definitely spring or fall, it would be better. I would definitely stay here again in spring or fall!
