Since building features vary, the listing is the clearest guide for access and nearby conveniences. If you want a specific recommendation, look for homes close to the places you plan to visit most.
Two to three days is usually enough for a short stay if you want a relaxed pace and a simple base. If you are using Guilherand-Granges as a longer stop, the apartment-style setup can work well for a few extra nights.
