We spent 5 nights at Marco's place and we really enjoyed it. First the location is superb : a few meters away from a grocery (Pingo Doce) and a lot of cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed a very local restaurant, Don Grillon, just next to the apartment. The shopping street Santa Catarina is a minute away, Sao Bento is 5-8 minutes, and everything in the center is walkable, really.

The place itself is quite big, with high ceilings. Wifi was good, the dining table is really big compared to other places we went to, and it was really convenient for us. Fridge is also big and kitchen had all the basics. So the apartment overall was fine for us.

Now a negative point : the bed is not very confortable, and it took us a few nights to get used to it. This would be easy to upgrade and it is a bit of a shame as the rest of the apartment is really good.

Overall, I fully recommend this place :the overall confort and the superb location makes it an excellent choice at this price.
