We stayed with a group of friends (6 of us total) in Márcia's apartment. The location is great, right near the famous train Sao Bento station and a ~10-minute walk to the riverfront, where there are cheap water taxis if you don't feel like walking across the bridge. Our group loved the patio seating and appreciated the espresso maker (though one of the chairs was broken and the door to get out through the living room was unavailable for use so we had to use the smaller, hard-to-close kitchen door). The two bedrooms with AC were quite comfortable, but the two single bedrooms were harder to get a good night's sleep in because rather hot and stuffy, even when all the bedroom doors were open. The additional half-bath was a great convenience with a group our size. Check-in would have been a bit easier with a self-check-in option, as the host got flustered by a delayed arrival we couldn't have anticipated. That said, the stay was great overall, and we'd recommend the space.
