Gary and Renan are wonderful hosts - flexible, responsive, and quick to problem- solve if and when issues arise. This unit that they manage is in an ideal location between Nossa Senhora de Paz praça to the west and Vinicius de Moraes to the east. Its in a well- managed building with near 24 hour doorman coverage. The unit itself is a good size for just two guests, like my husband and me. My favorite parts of the apartment are the remote controlled metal blackout shades 💯 and the enormous walk-in closet attached to the master bedroom. 🙌🏻. As well, the mattress in the master bedroom is quite comfortable. We did have some issues with the plumbing in the bathrooms, but I’ve brought these to Gary’s attention. As well, there are some apartment upgrades and cleanings that are due (e.g. cleaning the stains on the living room blinds, replacing the scratched and chipped cookware in the kitchen) and which I’ve recommended to Gary as well. The one thing guests need to be aware of is the noise from the street on weekend nights: it is disruptive if you are a sensitive sleeper. But overall, my husband and I like this apartment and really like renting from Gary and Renan, two genuinely nice people who go out of their way as hosts.
