These accommodations are newly renovated apartments in an 18th century building. Right on Rua Garrett, where those who want to see and be seen have been visiting for 3 centuries. The downside is it’s quite crowded on the street, day and night. The upside is its fab location, close to shops and transport of all kinds and very safe.
The office personnel are all super helpful. While they are not always in the office (and leave at 5:30 or 6) the phone number provided will answer any questions pretty quickly through WhatsApp texts.
Our room was on the 5th floor facing the street. There is a giant crane across from our building but the windows are well sealed and we have a good AC/heating unit, so minimal noise. There is a full kitchen, fridge, glasses, cups and other dish ware if you want to take some meals in.
Bed is large and comfy, bath is spacious with shower stall. The rain head and handheld sprayer deliver hot water immediately with excellent pressure. A lighted magnifying mirror is perfect for make-up application.
We were there a week and on the 3rd day, there was cleaning service. Otherwise not.
