The apartment is in a very central location and in great condition, in a stylish old fashioned building with a lot of character, just across the beautiful Sao Bento Station, overlooking it. This comes at the price of having no elevator and a climb of 3 floors (not so easy with luggage) and with street noise that requires ear-plugs (or being a heavy sleeper). We really liked the local recommendations and tips, and the communication with the hosts was always quick and kind.
