At a glance

The nearest beach (Praia do Forte da Bandeira) is about 7 minutes on foot, with a climb of about 20 m on the way back.

You have a bus stop about 3 minutes away and a supermarket about 1 minute away, so it works without a car.

There are 4 bars or clubs within 150 m, so expect some evening noise; light sleepers may want a room at the back.
