Ana is an amazing host, most attentive ever had, with lots of local suggestions & ready to help with anything. Excellent apartment, photos very accurate, lovely shower products. Garden space is lovely, bed very comfortable & location is ideal. Great bars & restaurants on your doorstep, away from the tourists. Can walk from here all over city, 10 minutes to Sao Bento station (beautiful) & 15 to the riverside, 10 minutes to the Metro (which also services the airport).
Only one downside for us was the restaurant noise from downstairs, but this stops around 12 & the aircon drowns most of it out. We were there for ten days so needed an earlier night sometimes (but there is also a sofa bed in the lounge which is very quiet) so wont be a problem for most people as they probably wont be back before it stops !
Ana is trying to get the noise reduced & I feel bad mentioning it as she been such a good host, but reviews should be honest.
