Porto Alegre was a cute apartment, cozy and laidback in a classic European style with antique style locks on the doors. The area it’s located in is nice and quiet with two great places to eat down the street. There’s a pharmacy and bank nearby too as well as a bus stop, which was a huge convenience for my friends and I.
Uber rides from here to the more popular areas were cheap if public transport isn’t enough.
There are plenty of windows to allow fresh air in, as there is no AC. Many might be turned off by the lack of AC but it’s honestly not necessary as the climate here (in Sept) was fantastic. There are covers that come down over the actual window to keep out any bugs/birds.
Overall it was a very pleasant stay.
