The view is breathtaking, and we loved our time here! Located on the street directly above Rua das Flores, it is an excellent location. Be sure to mention your interests to Cristina, because her recommendations for the local secret spots are first-rate. The only downsides we experienced were the construction noise next door, but thankfully that was all gone in the evening and on the weekend. There is no AC, and indeed, opening the glass doors to the patio cooled the apartment off immediately. I got a few bug bites sleeping with the windows open at night, though. Overall, a beautiful, quiet apartment in an historic building where you can walk to everything. Cristina is a fabulous host!
