I've just returned from a long weekend in David's apartment with my friend. We arrived early & Pedro was there to meet us, he allowed us to drop off our luggage at the apartment, even before the cleaning team had arrived. This allowed us to start our holiday as soon as possible!
The apartment is exactly as described, it is compact, but has everything you need for a base. The cleaning team arrived whilst we were out sightseeing & set up the sofa bed for us, and left the apartment lovely & clean.
The mezzanine bedroom is a good use of space, but if you are tall, it could be an issue, as there are low beams. All in all, the apartment is ideal for 2 people.
The apartment is in a good location, the nearest metro stop is Lapa & this is a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
You can also walk down to the river in about 20 minutes, where there are an abundance of restaurants & bars.
We would definitely stay here again, and having the balcony is a lovely bonus! Thank you to David & Pedro!
