Location is great, less than ten minutes walk to Santa Catarina street. Two groceries stores nearby, Pingo Doce is one of them. We didn't take or use the metro as we mostly walked during our stay. Location is great. Building has no elevator. We stayed on the second floor which was three flights of stairs , with a baby and stroller can be difficult at times. Otherwise, the place was convenient and well located. Will definitely stay with them again !
