😊: A beautiful little studio apartment the 'Green' apartment is bright and has a great amount of sunlight through the windows in the afternoon.

Despite my lack of Portuguese, they were extremely helpful and friendly toward me. With several options to choose from, I asked which was the favorite of the staff working. I went with what the woman said her favorite was and it did not disappoint!
I am so glad I read the reviews about this place and made the trek to get there. Great food, friendly staff, very reasonable prices and a cute outside patio...
