No air condition was a big problem in August, because the balcony doors to the street had to be opened. Because of that we had a problem with noise from street while trying to sleep. Cat was cute but sometimes rebellious, scratching the doors in 6am in the morning.
At all, place is beautiful, city center is near, public transport fantastic and organized. Beaches are a bit faraway from the apartment but with bices it was a pleasure to drive.
