1. We were able to come in early and drop off our bags and come back later to check in which we greatly appreciated
2. the place is exactly as described, has everything one might need for managing in the kitchen, cleaning supplies etc. I was happy to see a Nespresso machine there.
3. WiFi worked great in the living room and we were able to a get whole week of work in with video calls etc. WiFi wasn't as great in the larger bedroom but that wasn't a big deal.
4. great area to stay in, lots of restaurants and grocery stores in a 5 mins walk.
Andrea who manages the listing locally was phenomenal. We had a great time chatting with her and learning about things to do. She gave us a lot of great recommendations with the highlight being joining her and her bandmates for samba on the streets. Phenomenal 10 days in the Airbnb even with cooking meals.
