Modern and well furnished apartment, very comfortable for 4 people. Loved the balconies. Room downstairs has no air conditioning so in the summer you'll have to keep the door open. Upstairs bedroom is best. We arrived by car, and José helped us maneuver to park on the narrow dirt road by the building. He was very flexible and understanding as I had to change my check-in time twice. The neighborhood is gray and poorly lit but safe. In any case, you'll want to spend your time Downtown or at the Ribeira. If you're not driving, take the metro at Campanhã and get any train to transfer at Trindade, then ride to the São Bento station.
