We loved the apartment - loads of light in the mornings, a great balcony to sit out on, super-modern kitchen fixtures and the best location right in the heart of the art district. We loved all the local shops on Ruo do Rosario - the health food store, butcher, surprisingly good clothes shops - and the many restaurants kindly recommended by the hosts (Casa d'Oro pizza is essential!). We were also in walking distance of a bunch of great bars like Breyner 85. The free port and jam provided by Salome was a neat touch. What a place to stay in!
