This was a great pied à terre for my family of four (2 adults, a 3.5yo and a 11mo baby). Pedro’s friend was at the house to meet us, show us around the house and give us tips. Unfortunately the washing machine wasn’t working the first night we were there but I was pleasantly surprised to hear from the hosts the next day about it being repaired. (Having picked Pedro’s house because it had, among other amenities, laundry, this was a relief! The joys of traveling with two small kids).
The bathroom (and bathtub in particular!) is SUMPTUOUS. The hosts were very kind to have a crib (not just a cot/pack ‘n play) available for the baby as well as a high chair.
The decor was great and nice to have a few English cable channels (with movies) on the TV at night once the kids went to bed. Felt like a real home.
Location was great. We wanted to be a little out of the main touristy area. Took about 25 mins to get from Pedro’s door to São Bento which was just fine. Was very quiet at night, though during the day a few dogs do bark next door. If you are sight seeing this isn’t a big deal; we stayed in a few mornings for the baby’s nap so bring a good sound machine or white noise option if this is in your plans too.
All in all a lovely place and we would stay there again!
