The apartment is on the beginning of Rua das Flores, few minutes walk from the Sao Bento station. Most of the sites are within walking distance, very convenient. The apartment itself seemed to be newly renovated, quite clean. The only thing is that the apartment is between two busy streets, so it could be noisy during the day. But it was alright for us. Mario was very also nice, he brought us the fan for the super hot weather!
