Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just a short stroll from Palmeiras beach, this apartment is ideal for a family getaway. Sure, its convenient location means you’re surrounded by neighbouring homes so it lacks a little privacy, but we think the easy access to restaurants, shops and the coast makes up for it. At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed and the lack of air conditioning means it could get hot in summer, but with a private balcony, you can enjoy some fresh air and sunshine while sipping your morning coffee.
The Plum Promise
- No time for average – We reject thousands of homes worldwide, so you don't have to.
- Hosts we know – With track records of high-quality hosting.
- Rated ‘Excellent’ on Trustpilot – Exceptional service before, during and after your stay.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
There's no air conditioning here. It could get a little hot during the summer.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair and baby bath for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
This apartment overlooks neighbouring homes. The views aren't the most inspiring and it lacks a little privacy.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
