Very well located apartment, in the heart of the city. It is spacious, with lots of rooms and beds, cozy but it is an older apartment. The front rooms were VERY noisy at night and into the hours of the morning. It was hot so with the windows open it was impossible to sleep. The back rooms were okay though.
On the positive, we walked everywhere. Rua Santa Catarina is steps away. Mario was reachable via chat at all times and even provided some recommendations for food and sites. Towels and linens were provided. There is a cute courtyard as well.
There was a small issue with the previous guests who had their items still in the apartment when we checked in, but it was sorted within an hour. Overall it was an okay stay. Thanks Mario for having us!
