We loved staying in this apartment! Carla is a wonderful host. She gave us all kinds of good tips on stuff to do in town - and also invited us to celebrate the Sao Joao festival with her, her family and the people of the neighborhood! The apartment is in a great location in the heart of the city, very near to most of the attractions. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated and has a great shower with tons of pressure! Carla also generously left us a bottle of wine for our stay, as well. We highly recommend it.
