Maria Amelia’s place is 8 minutes from Sao Bento and just minutes from the Ribeira, Rua Flores, #1 tram and Sao Francisco. The place exceeded my expectations as it’s very homey, cozy and comfortable.
I had a few small problems in my 9 days there and Maria Amelia and her family were very quick to respond. I was a solo traveler but a couple could absolutely stay there. Highly recommend.
