The location of this flat is excellent. It's central enough to be close to most of the well-known points of interest and close enough to Sao Bento station to be in easy access to the rest of the city and surrounds. Most of the time it was quiet for us, but there is some construction noise during the day in the vicinity. During our 6-day stay we did not hear any of the church bells that were mentioned by other guests in the past. We also appreciated the layout, clean modern furnishings, and the kitchen facilities.
