Vitor and Carlos are great hosts. They were accommodating, answered our questions in a timely manner, and very friendly when meeting us at the apartment. The doormen were also very pleasant as well.
The location is great, and it was not too noisy at night. Unfortunately, the apartment was less than we expected. The furniture in the living/dining room is old and not very comfortable/clean. The beds and pillows are extremely hard; it felt like we were sleeping on the floor, and the A/C in the bedrooms are old, very loud, and act more like fans. The A/C in the living room, however, is new and works great. When using the shower, it is either cold or scalding hot. There is no in-between. Not safe at all for kids, and you either burn or take a cold shower.
If the furniture and air conditioners were replaced, and the water regulated better, I would recommend this place. It has potential.
