"Estadia muito boa, ambiente simples porém dentro do que foi proposto, limpo e muito bem localizado. A única coisa que ficou a desejar foi o ar-condicionado que não era muito bom e no banheiro que não tinha papel higiênico, fora isso fiquei bem satisfeita."

5/5 - Excellent

We highly recommend a place Sebastian and Yolanda recommended to us to see live music: Naylê. Go to the ateliers to see wonderful local art! A wonderful little artsy shop with a café that is lovely and centrally located is Estacão do Cuatro Cantos.
