Fernando took care of us every step of the way, making sure we had transportation to his place after a late flight into the airport. He greeted us as soon as we had our luggage out of the car, showed us up, gave a quick tour, and answered any questions we had.
The place is quite charming and comfortable and is within walking distance to many of the major points of interest.
As it is so centrally located and next to the Sao Bento station, you definitely get plenty to city ambiance which is easily muted with the shutters.
We loved greeting the newsstand lady set up in the building entrance every morning as we were off to our adventures.
Don’t hesitate. Stay here. You’ll be glad you did.
