A rental that feels like a home
We enjoyed this apartment for a week over New Year's. The location in Belem is wonderful - the monastery, several museums, and plenty of delicious restaurants are within easy walking distance. The bus and tram would have been easy to catch just down the street, although we chose to Uber and the pickup was always fast. The apartment is so much more than a rental - it really feels like you are enjoying the family's second home. The furnishings are just beautiful, the bathrooms are newly remodeled and better than some European hotels (no cold half-open shower!) and the kitchen was well-stocked for really any cooking/dining needs. An Auchan grocery store for a "bigger run" is an easy walk and then there are plenty of smaller convenience stores within a block or two. The best part about this home was the ease of communicating with the owner Ricardo and his lovely family. They couldn't have been more welcoming. We enjoyed it thoroughly.
