This place is in an excellent location! Walking distance to the metro, cruise port, historical center, restaurants, tour hook-ups, river walk, etc. We found the apartment to be very spacious with a newly renovated feel to it. Lots of nice, new appliances, only wish there had been directions on how to use them in English as we don’t read Portuguese. The nightlife was very loud all six nights that we stayed there due to the nearness of Pink Street and the pounding beats of the bars at the bottom of the building. The noise lasted until 3 or 4 in the morning. The widows block out some of the noise. Wish there had been more comfortable pillows on the bed. The living room chair was not comfortable to sit in, but the couch was fine. Morning coffee was good across the street. Found a great Asian restaurant a block away. Many nearby restaurants! This VRBO has so many great features, but getting a good night’s rest was not one of them.
