The apartment is large and spacious - just like the pictures. The person who met us to open the apartment was very friendly and helpful. We were able to easily find free parking on the street. The building itself seems to be an office building with some apartments in it. There are some real gems in the neighbourhood! The Mercado Bom Sucesso was fun. The Brasaria Carvalhido restaurant was excellent, and LM Art Cafe was a great lunch spot. We took the metro to the centre, which was easy to do, and we also walked back from Sao Bento station (took 40mins - was hilly but a doable walk). Overall, we enjoyed our stay!
