The hosts were fantastic. Very helpful. We were confused finding the right apartment complex. But, they were great in clarifying instructions and checking us in. The location is great!! It's right by one of the metro stops. So, it's easy to get to city center, airport, and train lines. The community is nice and friendly. A great pastry shop (Charlot) just by the Ramada on the corner. The Fonte Luminosa is within walking distance and is gorgeous at night.
The apartment itself was very nice for the price. Great amenities. We're a family of 3. Bedroom w/two twin beds pushed together and daughter on a twin in the living room was perfect. The views were great from the balcony and you could hear the city sounds 24-7. Note to young families - the balcony and windows don't have screens so be careful with younger children and "climbers". There is a small greenbelt on one side of the apartment complex with a huge tree that houses so many birds. You get a wonderful serenade in the evenings and mornings. It was just beautiful. The beds were firm, so if you like that you'll sleep great.
There is a grocery store right across the street, so getting supplies for our stay was a breeze. Everyone knows English (to an extent). So with our simple Portuguese (to at least show we're trying) and people's English skills we did just fine at the local shops.
Overall, we highly recommend this quaint little apartment for older families and adults. We hope to be back soon.
