This is a very charming apartment, but as mentioned before really not work the high cost per night. I think they put more care into the apartment and guest experience in the early days of the listing. I found the apartment decorated in a very interesting manner but too many statues, kind of uncomfortable and it felt misplaced given we are in Brazil but it is Thai/Buddhism theme. The bathrooms, especially the toilets need to be upgraded as they were pee/residue stained and the seats yellow. All the fixtures in the bathroom, sink, tub, faucets, need to scrubbed CLEAN as they had residue. I enjoyed the pool and the view is absolutely amazing. Loved the bedroom. The biggest pain is that it is very hard to travel to and from the apartment, very very frustrating as ubers and taxis refused to pick me up because many mistake the area as a favela but it's just a hilly area. The area felt otherwise safe to me and there is even a nice bar at the bottom of the hiil. I would stay here if you are someone or a couple who want to wine down and not do much, but to stay here as an active traveler you will be disappointed by the difficulty of transportation alone. I recommend to the host to review the price given the difficulty to travel the city from the apartment, quality of facilities. Also less statues, it is spooky.
