Patricia and Bruno were wonderful hosts! They were very communicative before and during our stay, provided tips about the city and even left some Port wine for us in the unit! This apartment is a beautiful unit - in a historic building and really well decorated. Our main complaint was that this area is very noisy at night, particularly on the weekends, with several bars and clubs directly downstairs.
The windows are quite thick and do a good job of blocking some noise, but it was really difficult to sleep some nights. I would not recommend this area if you have a hard time sleeping with lots of noise or have early morning plans. On the positive - it's in a very cool neighborhood with lots of trendy restaurants and cafes nearby. It's also a close 10 minute walk to most of the main tourist attractions, while being a bit set away from the touristy areas. If you're planning to enjoy the nightlife, this would be an ideal place to stay!
