Locke de Santa Joana
Friendly staff, great onsite dining and loved the room amenities like washer/dryer. The hotel is also a great location near luxe shopping, nearby a metro station as well as the hop on hop off bus tour. Still walkable to popular neighborhoods but far enough away in peace & quiet as well.
