André’s place was lovely! We were sad we could only spend one night there and didn't get to take advantage of the small balcony and the view. The apartment is in an old building that's literally across the street from the Sao Bento train station, but it's high enough up that it's still very quiet at night. (Just keep in mind that there are several flights of stairs you have to climb to get there.) The room is nicely decorated and there's plenty of light, just like in the pictures. The shower is also really nice and hot, which isn't a given! We appreciated the recommendations left in the room for attractions and restaurants around the city, too. André was extremely fast at communicating and was very helpful. We'd definitely book with him again!
