We enjoyed being greeted by the host's father and his artwork in the apartment was a nice personal touch. The apartment is as pictured with modern amenities and in a very convenient location to Trindade station which connects with all metro lines. The stairs up to the apartment are new so they were easy to climb, but please note that the stairs up to the loft in the apartment are quite steep if that is an issue. The beds were on the very firm side as we have found many European beds to be. The apartment gets nice light and was quiet.
