The family-run Residencial Londrina, located along the busy Rua Castilho west of Liberdade, offers 14 charming rooms at reasonable rates. These rooms, in fact, are more than simply "charming;" they're well-kept in a way that rivals your grandmother's house. That's right.
The Londrina's kindly owners, the Ferraria family, keep their residence carefully groomed and lovingly appointed. It's obvious that you're in a grand old apartment, with its high ceilings, generous proportions, and occasional balconies. The Ferraria's have decorated tastefully though out, from the floral wallpaper to the attractive curtain treatments. The resulting impression is peaceful and spotless.
As the Londrina occupies a former apartment, room sizes vary. Our favorite room, No. 117, a spacious double, has twin beds inlaid with Portuguese tiles, and a balcony. All rooms are equipped with private bath, soundproofed windows, and air-conditioning.
One note: The friendly couple who run the Londrina speak very little English. We were, however, somehow able to communicate—through a combination of words, hand gestures, and laughter.
