The apartment is clean and the beds comfortable. Hostess is very nice and friendly. Plenty of chairs to sit on. TV in one room has primarily local Portuguese language. No screens on the windows so local monkeys might attempt to steal fruit or other food if you leave the doors or windows open. Second half bath is outside off of a rear balcony. There is a washer but only a line rack for drying. You need to light the gas water heater with a match to get hot water.
