We loved our stay at this apartment. It's accented with thoughtful, charming details that made it instantly feel like home. It was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Fatima also left us some port to enjoy, and a very comprehensive welcome book that included useful recommendations and instructions. Most of all, the location can't be beat -- within a 10-minute walking distance to most of the popular tourist sites in the city, and less than five minutes from the famous Saõ Bento train station.
A couple things to note for potential guests' awareness (and in all fairness, both of these are typical for older buildings in central areas): (1) Because it's on a popular, touristy street, it can be a bit noisy, though it quiets down by 11 pm; and (2) for North American visitors, the apartment is noted as the second-floor, but since ground floors in European buildings start at 0, it's actually up two flights of stairs, and there's no lift in the building. Something to bear in mind if you have a lot of luggage or someone in the group has limited mobility. But we really enjoyed our stay, and hope to return one day!
