Host was kind and accommodating. The apartment was clean and had necessary essentials for cooking and cleaning unlike many other airbnb's I visited before hers in Brazil. The location is optimal logistically speaking, it's near everything you would want; pharmacy, bakery, bars and restaurants are literally ten steps across the street and beach is a 2 min walk. However, be warned that this location is not optimal for peace and quiet of which I did not know. At all hours of the night you will be jolted out of your sleep from cheers from the bar filled with groups of men watching soccer, or people fighting and screaming at 4am outside the window, or party music blasting 24/7, or loud engines screaming up and down the road racing, or loud and obnoxious garbage trucks deployed and operated at night. I don't understand how that is even an intelligent move made by the city to send loud trucks at night, in the United States they send them in the morning after people wake up. Apparently Brazil doesn't have noise ordinances and don't enforce rules to keep people comfortable from loud sounds after dark. Also, there were some unsavory groups of men lurking around the entrance of the apartment; they were loitering and watching people come and go - likely clocking the place - a tactic used by thieves so keep your eyes up and pay attention so you don't become an easy target. Overall I have been disappointed at every AIRBNB I've paid for in Brazil, but the host made an effort to make our experience better and I appreciate her for that.
